I am going to turn up the basals again for the morning. We saw them climb fast this morning when he got up. It was an hour later than a school day. I am wondering if the high is dependent on when he actually starts moving for the day. Is it a hormone dump that starts when he wakes up. I am going to try to increase some more for that 10:30 a.m. time frame. Since it started going up before he even ate anything, I am thinking it is a basal rate adjustment not a carb. ration adjustment. I'll let you know how it goes.<BR/><BR/>It was nice to hear from you! How did you know I posted again? Do you periodically check this blog? I always am surprised when I haven't posted for awhile, and then someone finds me.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18164102552103801004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21832370.post-12860728803602687812007-05-19T04:43:00.000-07:002007-05-19T04:43:00.000-07:00Jenny-When are you seeing those highs?

I've already increased his basal rate once. Will probably have to do it again. <BR/><BR/>I'm really thinking there's some hormonal stuff going on with these guys...<BR/><BR/>In the meantime, we've had the opposite issue during the day-- Joseph is having some nasty lows (40s and 50s). <BR/><BR/>We're giving him less insulin for meal boluses, and extra snacks (he's just so dang active), but he's still going low-- more so on warm days. <BR/><BR/>(I'm sure that rebounds from these lows are playing a part in at least some of the overnight highs we're seeing.)<BR/><BR/>Anyhow-- if you can convince Tommy to wear his CGM for a while, I'd be very interested to know if it helps you bring down those highs...Sandra Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16664436447708465809noreply@blogger.com
