[QUOTE="Japes, post: 2183497, member: 277410"] Morning all! I'd offer hugs all round but, as my work building is the latest recurring plague house, I am refraining from such activities. Still, we're nearly there for this term, for which I am most grateful. I seem to have survived, but with much to think about over the holidays when my making big decisions brain works better. The current accidental experimental basal pattern seems to be a success, which has surprised me, but it has also slightly annoyed me as I was told firmly by the DSN when I started on insulin to do basal (Levemir) at bedtime and on getting up. Given I get up earlier than most people, and average 6/7 hours sleep (done that all my adult life) it had always been a 17 hour/7 hour split and I was invariably creeping up before bedtime. I did query this and wondered if I should go to a 12 hours split but was told it shouldn't matter... First experiment after DAFNE had me on a 14 hour/10 hour split, and keeping the bedtime consistent, but I was prone to forgetting to do the morning basal when I got to work if chaos had already broken out. Now I'm doing a 12 hours split, when I get up and when I get home from work, it's definitely working better. As I suspected it would in the first place... Meanwhile, off to make the most of the last weekend of term - traditionally devoted to doing as little as possible! [/QUOTE]
