Site failure - or a failure of patience.


I had written about what I had though was site failure.

When I shared my findings on another site, the observation was made that perhaps my basal rates had changed and I was being too impatient.

Well, I had not considered that, and had thought I had stumbled on the correct solution.

But false leads are common in science, and so I had to test to see if it could be, in fact, just a subtle change in basal rates.

The data is in, my basal rates have shifted. Perhaps this is due to the cold winter weather - or perhaps a small change in my diet? Not sure what is the cause, but I am now aware that my numbers have adjusted ever - so - slightly as to cause me a lot of confusion.

Which is the wonderful thing about diabetes. You may think you know it, at a precise degree - but will always be thrown a loop.

I am humbled.

TSD.
