I don't get it

For almost 3 weeks my bg was nice and stable. I seemed to have conquered the DP. Now, I'm waking up with a fasting at 7+ again.

I raised my basal 2 days ago and still... my bg is at 6.4-6.8. Urgh. I think I'll probably end up breaking the record for highest basal rate ever.

Hey try testing your levels like four to five hrs after you take your basals assuming that you are taking them at bedtime or at night....so this should be between 2-4 am see if your bg is low, might explain the dump, I know alot of people eat a protein type snack for bedtime to avoid this low in the middle of the night while they are sleeping.....could help, just a thought.

Nope, got you beat. Night time 8u/hr and day time 9u/hr.

Did you change the basals across the board or just the ones 2-3 hours before you get up?

Holy cow dude! I thought I was bad, having to increase to 4u/hr mid-night.
