[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 1879171, member: 365308"] I've fasted with type 1 but on a pump and did not have to adjust the basal. The rise sounds like DP as suggested but could you fiddle with the timing and amount of the night time dose so that you don't go low overnight or take that morning basal sooner? Your liver will respond to a need for glucose by shunting more out of your liver even if its only a mild hypo. With me I can get high by exercising with low insulin levels which is somewhat counter intuitive! If you have extra insulin on board it will store more of what you eat as fat or may make you hungrier at the first meal of the day bearing in mind that the insulin lasts for 4 hours (if the manufacturers). By taking it you are telling your body that food is on its way so there is no need to use stored fat. I think the strategy is spot on for someone who has lost a good amount of weight but got stuck. Often thought that if I gave up eating I'd have fantastic blood sugar control! [/QUOTE]
