Test 1 12 am basal .15 4am basal .125 9am basal .2 last bolus a small correction just before 11pm 2 am 233 3 am 248 4am 223 5 am 268 6 am 258 7 am 201 8 am 170 9 am 178 10 am 180 11am 182 12 pm 245 1 pm 238 I decided to ad a basal of .25 at 10:30am to attack the spike at noon. I have seen her spike her before and was not suprised. This morning she got into food at 11am so I do not know if it worked yet. but my problem is actuall the dip from 6am to 8am. I changed the 4am basal from .125 to .1 and then tonight she dipped from 4am to 6am and then rose from 6am to 8am. I'm not sure what to try next or maybe I should wait and see if she follows the same tonight? If you don't mind telling me what you would do I would appreciate some input.

Thank You Test 2 last bolus a small correction at 9pm 12 am basal .15 4am basal .1 9am basal .2 10:30am basal .25 (we didn't get to this far today) 2am 223 3am 218 4am 215 5am 201 6am 156 7am 178 8am 233 9am 198 10am 189 Abby got into the dried fruit so I need to repeat test to get the 11-1pm numbers.
I would share it with my CDE and endo and follow their recommendations. They will probably recommend small increase across the board and ask for more data again to make further adjustments.
Well, your overnight basals aren't bad, because you stayed flat - but you stayed flat in the 200s. The correction bolus and/or the meal bolus you gave wasn't enough to get her back in range - I would focus on getting her in range after dinner, and then work your way through the night and the morning. Some kids are more insulin resistant the higher they are, so you don't know for sure if your overnight basals are right or she's needing more because she's insulin resistant in the 200s
Thank You That makes a lot of sense. I'll give that a go first. I think the correction is way off because I half corrections at night. But we have a cgm now. Good idea.
yep, we never "believe" basal tests when he's out of range. Which means..it's hard to get a good basal test done because those are the times when you need to test, when they're out of range. But Nancy is 100% correct, you just can't tell what's wrong when you basal test at those numbers.
