I set up a new basal rate and adjusted it last night for workshops.
Basically I’ve found that using the temp basal at 50%+ helps, but there is a problem with temporary basals. For one, you can accidently turn them off and I’ve done that.
I’ve set up the extra basal and I switched over to it last night. I plan to switched back to the normal basal tonight and have the Treo programmed to remind me.
Here’s the good news. I ate breakfast at 7:15 and I just checked and my blood sugar is at 146, definately within the parameters I’ve set.
Four hours after eating and my blood sugar is 122 which is extremely good. So far everything is working well.
I left the workshop with a blood sugar reading of 117. A major victory! Hopefully repeatable.
