[QUOTE="azure, post: 1344376, member: 39639"] A basal test is basically testing various segments of the day to make sure your basal dose is keeping your blood sugar steady (in the absence of food). There are various sites explaining how to do a test, but here's a good one: [URL]https://mysugr.com/basal-rate-testing/[/URL] It can take a while as you do each segment, but will show you if your basal is keeping you steady day and night by the time you've finished. Lots of the basal test sites use US units, so here's a handy converter if you need one: [URL]http://www.diabetes.co.uk/blood-sugar-converter.html[/URL] :) [/QUOTE]
