Basal rate change

This is probably as “vanilla” a week I’ll get this summer — well, not exactly true, but close. No workshops, no class meetings, just dog stuff.

My fasting blood sugar has been lower each day, and dropped down to 98 today from 155 when I went to bed, so I left a message with my CDE and told her I was going to drop my basal by .05 per hour from 12:00 – 4:00. That’s the most danger time to go low, and the biggest pain to treat. I had to treat a couple of lows the first night of the workshop (I over basaled for sitting still all day), and it was an absolute pain. Woke up twice and had to get up and deal with it.

One of the goals my CDE and I have, is for me to have uninterrupted sleep — which means having the right blood sugar at night, not too low and not too high, because either means waking up and dealing with something.
