[QUOTE="dancer, post: 2677255, member: 110569"] Many people require different correction levels for different times of the day. Mine range from 3.5 to 5. Losing weight can cause hypos, so carb ratios would need changed, as your insulin requirements fall. Again, you can have different carb ratios for different times of the day. if you use a carb ratio of 1:10 (one unit for every 10 grams of carbs) but find you hypo a couple of hours later ( for 2 or 3 days) you need less insulin for that meal. The 1:10 ratio could be changed to 1:15 ie, 1 unit for every 15g carbs. This would be far too much of a difference for me, as I am insulin sensitive (I would need to try 1:11 or 1:12). Everyone is different. You should wait 2 or 3 days before making further changes. Are you on Manual Mode? If so, and you are only having hypos when on nightshift, perhaps it would be better to create a nightshift basal pattern, with less basal during the times you hypo. If you are on Auto Mode, apparently the only things you can change to make a difference to hypos are carb ratios and insulin activity time. The most effective AIT for the 780G is 2 hours, but this doesn't suit everyone. Some change this to 2.15 or 2.30 hours but a few require the recognised 4 hours activity time. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
