Since I’ve woken up with fairly low blood sugar three mornings in a row, I’ve decided to drop my midnight to 4:00 am basal rate by 0.05 unit. I’m reduced my basal by a whole .20 units \ud83d\ude42 Actually every little bit helps reduce the total.<\/p>\n
I’ve also been slowly, from midnight back, decreasing my biggest and longest basal rate during the day. I’ve been dropping by .05 unit every half hour, and am now dropping from 9:00 pm on.<\/p>\n
It works out pretty well, the basal rates are now
\n12:00 – 4:00 0.85
\n4:00 – 8:00 1.10 — this will be the next place I change
\nand I half it on cardio in the morning days
\n8:00 – 9:00 1.00 — this is the rate I’ve been decreasing by half
\n9:00 – 12:00 0.95<\/p>\n
So things are going well.<\/p>\n
Here’s the really good news, my daily total insulin usage has dropped to 38 – 45 units a day with an occasional excursion to 78. That’s a whole lot better than it was before I started working out regularly.<\/p>\n
And I know I’ve lost at least 20 pounds since I discovered my scale wasn’t working.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
