My basal rate continues to drop. I have started a diabetes tracking log again (used to run one constantly for the first year on the pump)to nail down exactly where I need to adjust. I increased my correction factor from 1 unit of insulin for 30 mg/dl blood glucose, to 1 unit for 60 mg/dl. That has helped my postprandial lows considerably. By rotating fasting periods from day to day I am getting a handle on the different basal rate adjustments I need to make at different times of day (higher in the midnight to noon period than in the noon to midnight period). What worked at 250 lbs is not working at 172. My insulin to carb ratio of 1 unit to 10g carbs has stayed the same since 200 lbs. As has my hypoglycemic correction factor of 1 gram of dextrose for every 6 mg/dl that blood glucose is below normal. Still occasionally battling with dawn phenomenon but that has been mitigated somewhat by taking my evening metformin 2 hrs later.
