For one thing, if you have Dawn Phenomenon, it is far and away the best method to manage it.

I have 9 different basal rates, ranging from 2.8 U/hr at 2 AM to .65 units/ hr at 2 PM.

The ability do do this has dropped my fasting readings from 180 - 220 down to the current 80 -110.

It took effort and trial and error to get this all set up, but you can see the results below. 90 average glucose, and also a 90 average fasting glucose.
