How many basal rates I don't know how to make a poll otherwise I would. I'm curious how many different basal rates you guys use throughout the day. I've had my pump for four days now and we're fine-tuning and already have three different basal rates (geez, no wonder Lantus didn't work well for me overnight!). I have one rate throughout the day and then at night have another and early morning have another. Is it common to have more than two or three? I think the nurse said I can have up to 48 in one day which seems excessive! But who knows, I'm just starting!
