[QUOTE="slaxxfb, post: 1875325, member: 489930"] recently i had been looking at IF (intermittent fasting) and came across a blog detailing some personal experiences and sharing advice. i asked some questions and she (blogger) replied that maybe i should test for my basal rate and ICR first before i head into IF. my doc hasn't taught me about this but i'm gonna try to do the tests first. so, how did you do yours? was it easy to pinpoint your ideal rates/units? how does your basal insulin work for you? did you have to adjust/split doses? any factors observed that might disrupt test results? (besides carb intake) and if you also did go/are practicing IF, how is it working for you? do you see changes in your blood sugar levels? needed adjustments? (besides skipping the bolus for the skipped meal) do share your exp, would be glad to see how it worked for you. maybe i can glean some explanation if i exp hurdles through the test. TIA! :) [/QUOTE]
