Hi Hannah - Have you done any formal basal rate testing? It’s easy to get basal and bolus insulin mixed up. You don’t want the basal rate to cover meals or bolus insulin to cover a basal need. It makes analysis more difficult, too. Ideally, your basal insulin metabolizes liver glucose only and bolus insulin should address meals and corrections only.
I eat LCHF too. I use an extended bolus (also known as square wave and one half of the combination and dual wave boluses) to cover a portion of the protein and fat. I get very dependable results with this regimen. I can often keep my BGs in my target range 80% of the time. I can give you more detail if you like. It would be an unusual CDE that understands advanced pump techniques like this. Most CDEs don’t agree with LCHF eating to treat diabetes.
