| | | What are your basals?
Can you all give me some examples of what your basals are? I totally realize that it is a very individualized thing, I almost feel like I'm asking for your underwear size, lol. I am just curious as to what other peoples are, to see if mine are somewhere in the ballpark. I am tweaking mine right now because I'm so tired of going low all the time. I currently have 5 basals and they are set at various numbers, no two are the same, but I'm sure thats normal. Thanks all!

| | Mine are 7.47mmol/l over 100 tests and i am a heavy boy at 118Kgs wich is about 170pounds so i would take quite a lot of insulin like 66U of novomix and 44U of lantus and about 26 - 30U of novorapid. if your'e getting lows then i would just graduly take 2U off the long acting and see how you go or even just 1U off the normal dose. It's good that you have a keen interest in you BG's to gain control and stay happy of course.  |
