[QUOTE="Alison54321, post: 1877597, member: 472744"] My target is 4 - 7.8 I've been in the range 84% last 7 days, but that was a very good week, it's not always that good. Over the last 90 days it's been 79% in target. How do you improve your ability to stay in range? I tend to micromanage mine with small corrections, but when I first started using libre, at the end March this year, I used it to make some bigger changes. I switched from Lantus to Levemir, and worked hard to get my basal doses right, and make some changes to timing as well. I made a lot of changes. You might want to start by looking at your basal dose. If you look at the daily patterns, on the Libre reader, you can see trends, that give you some idea of when your blood sugars are regularly going too high, and then you might want to think about why that is. Maybe change your basal dose a bit, or there might be other reasons, if you can identity the worst times of day, and what's going wrong, then you can make changes there. Then once it's more in range, you can use smaller corrections, and micromanage, but when you're so far out, you have to think in a slightly different sort of way. [/QUOTE]
