There are basal testing methods which usually entails observing your basal rates and insulin needs during an <u>intermittent</u> fasting over a 24-hour period. Although you need to test your basal rates for the whole day, a 24 fast is not recommended. This is because the body triggers mechanisms such as hormones to compensate. A recommended way is to fast 3 times for 8 hours.

The recommended method is to suspend the loop (for safety you can set AAPS to [**LGS**](#KeyAapsFeatures-LGS) to avoid lows, as done for achieving [objective 6](#objectives-objective6)), which will revert to your default background basal rate. Observe how your **BG** changes: if it is dropping, basal rate is too high. And vice versa.<br/>

### I have negative IOB, is this an issue ?

Negative **IOB** means the amount of absolute insulin (basal + bolus) in your body is less than the basal. It will cause **AAPS** to send more insulin as soon as the **BG** starts to rise, because it considers that insulin is missing, which can result in low **BG** later.
