Studying

[Diaeli]

When I'm not working and home studying which is stressful, my basal requirements go up to 140% during the night and 125% during the daytime.
My basals were set when I was working which I guess is less stressful.
At least with walking to and from work, I get a lot more exercise.

I was wondering if there was a range to increase your requirements when staying at home?

I gradually went up slowly with the help of a CDE
but I would never have thought to go up to 140%, I might have thought that was overdosing myself. Perhaps my leaky liver has another leak or perhaps studying at my age is too stressful for this ol' bod <smile>.

Try setting up a different pattern for times you are home studying. Many pumps have the option of running your standard rate, setting up another pattern so that you can switch to "study" pattern and get your increased rates until you switch back to standard pattern rates. When you set up different patterns, you change back and forth as needed and don't have to think about running temporary rates.:)
