[QUOTE="LucySW, post: 678663, member: 113749"] That's exactly what's happened, Smidge. I got a scare from a 3.9 (which I now realise probably wouldn't have gone any lower - I could see that from the Libre, had I but trusted it), panicked, and after dealing with what I thought was my first hypo, dropped the basal for a few days. Then kept panicking when my post-meal spikes were again and again up at 8, 9, started the basal again but haven't yet managed to get the level quite right. Was upset and frightened, ate less and less and was thoroughly panicked. So had difficulty in getting a perspective on it all, till I took the Libre charts to a friend and asked her to look at them. Then she (not being in a panic about complications) pointed out that the spikes were quite reasonable, and the problem was that the baseline BS level was too high. So I'm working on the basal again, slowly. So there we are - one week thinking I need rapid-acting NOW, then back to thinking it's just basal. Roller coaster. Net result, I'm exhausted. Sniff, Lucy [/QUOTE]
