Hi all. Since going onto the pump I've been following the 5:2 diet with some success. The only negative thing I've come across is that although I know my night time basal rates are correct (from lots of testing), I always wake up low the morning after a fasting day. There is obviously a connection between fasting/not fasting and night time bg as the morning after a non-fasting day my bg is normal, even if I don't eat carbs before bed. Last night my blood sugar was just below 4.0mmol at bedtime so I had roughly 15g carbs and did a negative 50% basal for 2 hours. Had a good night's sleep, woke up this morning at 2.8. Do you think that I should extend the time of my temp basal or do a greater reduction? Blood sugars rebounded (thanks liver dump!) and went to 21.9 2 hours after breakfast, now at 17.9 after a correction. I know that people say not to correct after a liver dump but it's just not sorting itself out. Have just done another small correction, as calculated by my pump - I'd quite like to get to single figures sometime TODAY!!
