Bragging Rights
i have to just take the time to brag for a few seconds to people who know what i am talking about. cause i tried to brag to my bf about this and it went WAY over his head. i just became a type 1 in the beginning of feb. my A1C test at that time was OVER 15. i went and got an A1C test a few weeks ago, just got the results today...... 6.5!!!!! perfect! fasting went from 230 something to 119. HAHAHA!!! i didn't think it would be that great!
though question.....how do you fast for 12 hours???? gotta get another test in three months were i have to fast 4 hours longer then before. :(

Your basal should not be changed if it is set right. It should simply be handling your cellular needs round the clock, not your meal/carb needs.
You fast from 7 pm to 7 am and presumably you have a test at 7 am. (Nothing to eat after supper the night before.) You simply don't give yourself your bolus meal shots over that 12 hour period since you're not eating. But you can give yourself correction shots. And whenever you give your basal shots, morning or night, do so.
And MANY CONGRATULATIONS.

Congratulations!! It sounds like you are really taking control seriously and making all the right choices/changes.

Good for you! That's a tremendous improvement and there is research that a "good start" really pays dividends for the long haul.

Yahoo I wish that I could get that kind of A1C and I hope that yuo can keep on that way as the YEARS go on. If and when I need to fast I turn my insulin pump way down and check my BG very often. I hate It when I have to fast. It is very stressful.

it is. and then they when you go to the doctors you wait for over half an hour to get a blood sample. which is almost dangerous.
