[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 2059963, member: 374531"] Sure, no probs, but keep it in mind for the future, as it's a valuable technique. If you end up trying it, I'd highly recommend having a way of tracking insulin on board, iob. Some meters do this, the libre reader does it via the professional options section, access code CAA1C, and the android app xDrip+ does it even if not being used as cgm. The reason knowing iob is useful is that if I see I'm heading towards 9 or 10, and iob says I've only got 1u iob remaining, that's unlikely to stop the trend, so I'd be inclined to correct with a few units before I get there, whereas if I've still got 5 or 6u iob, that'll likely take care of it, so I wouldn't correct, just watch and see how it plays out. Here's an example, 13u about 20 mins before a 90g meal, there's a decline down, then a rise, then about 8:50 I'm reckoning the trend would go above 8, so 3u on top and that pinned it. 3u would normally be too much, but I thought I'd kill two birds with one stone by adding a bit extra to not only pin the rise but have some more to cover a light supper at about 10:00pm.
