It’s really strange….
\nWhen I decreased my basal by .05 units for 4 hours — from 8:00 pm to midnight — I saw my overall blood sugar increase slowly. It came to a “head” on Thursday, when I had a teacher workshop to sit in all day, so I put the basal rate back.
\nBut I was still seeing the low postprandial blood sugars after meals. I plug the last 2 week and last 1 week TDD in a spreadsheet and watch it carefully, and today, I hit a carb ratio of 12 according to the Rule of 500. So, after a couple of days of stable blood sugars I decided to drop the bolus rate from 1:11 to 1:12.
\nSo apparently, my bolus rate is decreasing with increased exercise and decreased weight, but it isn’t affecting the basal rate much. And that does mean that my TDD is also decreasing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
