[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 1946562, member: 374531"] I suppose the most common way is to wait until you're running a level line on cgm for a few hours (if I remember correctly from other posts, you're using a blinged libre and xdrip?), inject 1u, watch the line to see how far it drops and when it levels out again. Tells you correction factor and broadly speaking when the novo has stopped doing its stuff. I tend to wing things a bit, but if I'm looking to do experiments like that, I'll usually just have a long lie in on a Saturday morning before going for a late brunch about 3pm, so I can check whether basal is holding me ok, and then see what 1u or 10g does while I'm settled watching a box set and not moving too much. Stephen Ponder's book Sugar Surfing, couple of quid on kindle, is pretty good for this stuff. He's T1 and also an endo and early user of cgm, so covers a lot of bases. [/QUOTE]
