Basal Change seems to be fine….

Since I ended up spending the entire day fighting lows — and always 4 or more hours after meals, I ended up changing my basal rate from 12:00 – 4:00 and the basal rate from 4:00 to 8:00 am. — by .05 unit. Not a big decrease in insulin at all (I think it ends up being something like .3 unit. Of course, I couldn’t make that kind of adjustment with MDI. I’d have to cut the dose by a unit and be high until I adjusted to it.

I woke up at 104, so it’s definately not a problem.

I meant to go on a temp basal at 6:00 so I could walk without going low around 7:30-8:00, but I mucked that up — I think I programmed it in and then forgot the last step — hit go.

So I’ll eat a few extra carbs for breakfast, but short the basal by about a unit and I’ll probably be able to walk without eating more.

I really just want to avoid having to eat extra to avoid the low — yesterday I ended up eating 100 calories more than I wanted to.
