Message: <blockquote data-quote="donnellysdogs" data-source="post: 764529" data-attributes="member: 17713">The need for changes to basals from one week to another can be due to many things.. Different shifts, being on holiday, periods, having lie ins...So many things.First off have you sat down and thought uf there was anything different going on when you were having lows? Or now that you're having higher readings.Any changes in levels on a pump 2-3 hours after having either a food bolus or correction bolus is likely to be your ratio's needing fine tuning.However, this is not always the case. You can go higher as you just described despite corrections due to other reasons of say the type of food you are eating... Did it need a multiwave bolus when you ate? If you are going low straight after food (0-120 mins) that would indicate a basal change is needed.Making adjustments is also analysing your activities, your foods, your sleep patterns, your stress, any illness, your happiness....so many factors besides the pump settings....</blockquote>
