Basal Discussion Deep Dive for Everyone

This is the best Day 20 bg run I’ve had in a long, long time. This timeframe is notoriously difficult to pinpoint proper dosing for because of the hormonal ramp up to peak progesterone (which doesn’t give physical clues like ovulation does). +15% basal for the win today!

On a related note, my sites seem to tolerate meal doses better when I’m utilizing basal to handle hormone-induced insulin resistance (probably bc I’m not pumping repeated correction doses through them). I enjoy not having to take meal injections for now (which I had been doing to prevent site leaks and failures). And I got to eat as planned today which was awesome.
