I’ve gotten lots of great recommendations for placement and have decided to use Beacher’s list as a rotation guide, but I think I’m going to try the trap area next

Didn’t you guys have a whole thread mocking my site suggestions? I suggested the trap with that picture of the guy with the blue dot.

Try it, I like it.

So I have scaled back my basal rates from 5 pm to 8 pm from 1.5 to 1.25. I have no idea if it’s the right adjustment, but I’ve got good enough justification, and, if it’s not, I can revisit and tweak again.

Sure, adjust and tweak and do all of that. But just to mention - if you recall this chat we had a few days before I sent it - I made the basal a bit higher during that time to help you with dinner.

When you have a strong basal foundation, and start dropping a bit right when you eat, you’d be amazed what you can get away with at the dinner table!

Quick aside: I used to go to my endocrinologist with a couple of numbers and a whole lot of explanation and sit quietly in the office while she figured out what might work best for me. Those days are gone. I’m going to start charging her.
