Celia,
To answer your question about needing to change your basal rates on a daily
basis, my response is not usually, EXCEPT... I need to ramp up my basal rate
for a few days before my menstrual period. (My apologies to all you guys,
but this is a real problem for most of us women.) It is very easy to set the
basals for this. I don't use a temporary basal rate for this because the
alarms cause everyone in the room to look at me, and I don't feel like
explaining. Usually, after the first day of menstruation, I set it back down
to normal. This has really helped.
