Sarah
Hello Sarah, welcome! I have been type 1 for 65 years and am doing very well. My pumping began in 2007 and it has given me much more stable control.
I use several different basal rates during the night that gradually increase as get-up time approaches. I am using a basal rate of 0.5 at midnight, then the rates increase to 0.7, 1.5, and then 2.0 near breakfast. After breakfast the rates decrease to more normal numbers. This is the way I have eliminated my morning highs. You might not need any rates as high as mine. I am type 1, but I have insulin resistance like a type 2 does. That requires larger amounts of insulin.
