Changing basals for school
August 15, 2004
I had discussed changing my basal rates with my Endo a couple of weeks ago. My basal rates have been close to perfect all summer, but I am typically much more active during the school year.
I really have had trouble maintaining blood sugar since Thursday -- partly because I walked the building so many times, been installing software and moving computers around in my classroom.
I have dropped my carb ratio to 1:13 and most meals it works fine.
I'm really worried about my basal tomorrow, so I deleted my sleeping in basal rate, and put in two new rates with the lower basal rate while I'm at school.
I've gone ahead and switched to that rate. I'd rather be a touch too high than too low, and am planning to watch my blood sugar as carefully as I can.
