It works great there. My doc today suggested I try changing my basals thinking that is the problem and I said those are perfect or near perfect. I do have a few problems going on with those though...

1...a) If I wake up at 9 am my basals are perfect.
1...b) If I sleep in till 11 am, my basals make me go low.

Which do I do? I'd say both 50/50.

2...a) If I wake up at say 9 am and eat at 9 am, I have a 1:6 insulin/carb ratio.
2...b) If I wake up at say 9 am and eat at 12 pm, I have a 1:15 insulin/carb ratio.
2...c) If I wake up at say 11 am and eat at 12 pm, I have a 1:6 carb ratio.

Essentially I have to give 1:6 for the first meal unless a long enough period of wake has passed for the ratio to raise to my norm.

I'll get back to you on that one in about 3 months. Well, maybe after next week since it's suppose to finally warm up in this **** city. Last night one would think we were still in winter.


I generally wake up around 10:00 am and have a small snack using my 1:6 and then eat lunch around 12:30-1:30 using my normal 1:19.

Diabetes is an Art, NOT a Science. You must master the control by skills and not by knowledge alone.
