I have a very mild cold nothing major and I have not lost any weight, I tried it at a 30% reduction last night and woke up with a BS reading of 2.1, so I am finding this really strange to say the leastIt's quite a significant reduction, are you feeling ok in general, or lost weight (through choice) recently?
To much exercise during the night?for some strange reason in the past week I have been have to use a temporary basal reduction of 40% during the night and I don't understand why, does anyone have any idiea ?
I wish hahaha no I'm singleTo much exercise during the night?
no just been taking paracetamol on a morningDo you take any night medication for the cold? I find paracetemol makes me drop at night presumably by occupying my liver.
It is strange but sometimes you can't trace a reason for changes, I'm sane as caterpillar & illness raises my BG, hope you get it sorted soon.I have a very mild cold nothing major and I have not lost any weight, I tried it at a 30% reduction last night and woke up with a BS reading of 2.1, so I am finding this really strange to say the least
Same not sane!It is strange but sometimes you can't trace a reason for changes, I'm sane as caterpillar & illness raises my BG, hope you get it sorted soon.
illness normally raises I basal needs too hence the the confusion, I'll phone the DSN on Monday and see what she says, had my bloods done last week so I will find out what my Ha1ac is too

cheers NobleheadYeah you would think the cold would raise your basal needs @Gaz-M ,
Just replying to say good luck and hope your HbA1c result is a good one
glad to know it's not just me, just came off the phone to my DSN and have dropped night time basal dose, will have to see what happens in the coming weeks, btw my Hb1Ac is down to 44mmol from 46 in September but I'm guessing that might be down to a fair few hyposMy basal needs changed too at the end of last year. Rather randomly my dose dropped to only needing 2-3 units once a day. However, that only lasted a few weeks and now I'm back to having to increase it every day so will prob be back to normal dosage by the end of the week.
All very odd and I never got to the bottom of why it dropped and really don't understand why its going back up!
