correction bolus of 0.8 units (she has a ratio of 100/1 for corrections)
which should bring her to 153.
Based on the last 2 days, if she has a 9pm (2hrs after dinner) reading
of 163 or 179, and has a 6am reading of 108 or 118 respectively, with
no food intake, her numbers are dropping about 60 points overnight
with only the basal (and her own insulin) working - it looks to me that
her basal is too high.
I would want her to start the night between 100 - 130, which with the
current basal will push her way too low during the night.
Does this make sense, or am I missing something? |
100, for a child at bedtime? I dont' think so. that's cutting it too close. I strongly urge you NOT to be too perfectionistic with the numbers, or you will be risking hypos. It's fine to want to dampen down the really high numbers, but don't take it to an extreme at bedtime. and what about snacks? doing them or not, late at night?
