Unfortunately my basal rates are a bit variable so I do have to be prepared to tweak the basal dose as well as my bolus.I can have several days with perfect (ish)  levels, followed by a day or so where they refuse to go anywhere I want them to be,  seemingly for no obvious reason, so I can empathise with your situation.  How long have you been T1 and how long have you had a cgm?  I find it a massive help but it does take time to take maximum advantage of it and it also takes time to learn to have the confidence to tweak your own doses to prevent highs and lows.</blockquote>
