In my case at least and thanks to what pump can I make immediate changes, but I move a lot with temporary basals to keep me in rank, does it not happen to you?It was curious, I was 15 exact days with the augmented basal, I had a 0.800/hour pattern and I had to climb to 0.900 those 2 weeks since it seems that I fell short and today I am going down again because they gave me 2 hypos and it seems to bethat now I have been basal and I go down .. it happens to you that it is that way of variables?I know each one is a world but we are here to share experiences.

For women it is normal for hormonal cycles.I change several times a month.I do not use pump but I have to climb the basal and the rapid several days, then when the hypos begin, to reduce.And so every month.

It could be for sport.I don't know if you do, but that also affects much hours later.The effect also varies according to the type of sport.The issue is quite complicated.And it could also be hormones generated by nerves or stress although consciously does not realize.

The truth is that the Gym left a long time ago, I always say that I will return but I never return .. what I always do is tape 3 times a week that I know that aerobic exercise contributes a lot to insulin sensitivity.
