Message: <blockquote data-quote="tim2000s" data-source="post: 1172007" data-attributes="member: 30007">I use it the opposite way, to avoid early morning DP highs, but the way it works is similar and fairly straightforward.You start with a profile based on your basal insulin, and then you basal test in batches: <a href="https://mysugr.com/basal-rate-testing/" target="_blank">https://mysugr.com/basal-rate-testing/</a>This helps you identify the times when you go up and down, so you then adjust the basal rate of insulin being delivered up and down to stop either crashing lows or massive highs. For different times of the month, you can set different rates, again based on testing, and use them when necessary. For me, I had been using the Libre, and it showed me the morning DP highs, so I had been getting up at 5am and taking a Novorapid shot. When I created my initial basal rate, I factored that into the background level, so I had additional insulin going in over 3 hours that was the equivalent to that correction. It worked really well. Given your lack of hypo awareness, it might be worth you considering the Medtronic 640G for its SmartGuard technology, or talking to Animas about when their next gen pump with Hypo/Hyper minimization algorithm.</blockquote>
