| After much thought (and support from my fiance) I went ahead and lowered my basal rate to the 12 unit/day Lantus shot I was doing just two days ago. A VERY low blood sugar that came seven hours after my lunch bolus today convinced me that NOW was the time to make an executive decision in my treatment plan. I also changed my I:C ratio from 1 unit/13 grams to 1 unit/10 grams. Again, this was similar to my MDI treamtent plan which was working very well. I did this right before dinner at 6:30 tonight and I have seen MASSIVE improvement already. My post meal BG's stayed in the 100's and haven't moved much. Tonight until tomorrow until lunch will be one big long basal test.
I really hope this doesn't sabatoge my relationship with my CDE, but I'm the quarterback of my team, and I have to ultimately make the calls. If she supports my decision, I'll be so grateful. If not, I'll be a little bummed. I'll find out tomorrow when I e-mail her.
