I've had up to 6 rates set, but I have 4 right now:

12 am - 4 am overnight lower
4 am - 8 am DP compensation
8 am - 10 pm day/evening
10 pm - 12 am overnight lower

My CDE and endo have tried adding more basal rates based on my logs, but I ended up with more lows. I average 8-10 tests a day, but not the right ones to make basal changes from. Hopefully, my insurance is going to authorize CGMS monitoring for a few days and we will have better data to work from.

cheers,
j
