| Hey, I'm a type oner for over 15 years, no chance of honeymoon here. And yet here is an example of the best basal rate's I've come up with:
(this is for the pump, but you can see the pattern here)
12am - 6am 1.5 units/hour
6am - 8am 1.7 units/hour
8am - 12pm 1.95 units/hour
12pm - 4pm 2.20 units/hour
4pm - 6pm 1.45 units/hour
6pm - 12am 1.65 units/hour
So:
- my basal reqs rise steadily through the morning
- they peak at highest point at about 3 or 4pm, 60% bigger than my lowest point
- they then drop right off at about 5 or 6pm
- then they rise and fall gently over night
Why? Endo doesn't know. No-one here knows. I don't know. It's obviously not DP as such, I call it afternoon phenomenon! But it "is", and you should consider that you may well have an atypical pattern, like me.
