I think , there is a bit more to fine tuning, than " no food " for 6 hours …I have 3 pages of guide lines in print here in front of me … the Fine -Tuning Protocol : Do not perform any of the fine-tuning tests if : 1 ) your BG is elevated due to illness or infection 2 ) you have engaged in strenuous exercises in the last 24 hours , unless it is exercises you perform every day .
Stop the fine -tuning tests if, at any time :
BG falls below : a ) 4 mmol/L ( x 18 for US ) during the day b) 5.6 mmol/L at bedtime c ) 5mmol/L overnight
BG rises above 14mmol/L . Be sure to treat hypo and hyper when necessary ; consult your health team with any questions and concerns .
I googled Medtronic , unable to find the forms in question ( but then , I did not spent enough time on this right now ) .
And the Pumping Insulinbook by John Walsh has a chapter on " basal rates "
