A Small Lesson
I have long been an advocate of frequent testing in the middle of the night.
This practice finally paid off.
For over two weeks, I have been unexpectedly high Bg’s at 3:30 am to 4:00 am
for no apparent reason; even low carb dinners resulted in a high of 200 or
so at the early hours, after being normal at bedtime.
The problem was finally located; the 12:00 am to 4:00 am basal setting had
mysteriously changed to 0.0, from its normal setting of 0.8! All other
basal settings remained correct. Since a new basal came in at 4:00 am for
the dawn syndrome, a spot check of the basal after 4:00 am did not reveal
the problem.
Had I not been checking in the middle of the night, this problem could have
gone undetected for some time, as the 4 am basal tended to offset the
earlier condition.
