My lowest p.m. dose for basal is 4 units just prior to Ov. That is when my sensitivity is high. At ov I reset to my standard profile and take 5.5 u p.m. basal. I actually watch my resting temperatures throughout the luteal phase because I noticed a correlation between temp peaks and IR peaks. When I have those temp peaks I increase my p.m. basal to 7 u. I was just talking about this with another member in another thread, I use symptothermal method to adjust my insulin profiles. There are two markers for the hormones that interfere with my insulin response, estrogen increases my sensitivity and progesterone lowers my sensitivity. I am not going lie because I know it’s scary to increase nighttime basal but I have been tracking my hormones for 20 years so I know what I am doing.
