[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 594381, member: 17713"] Forgot to answer one of your questions: My basal rates are from 0.35 an hour up to 1.10. Every hour is different. This is because I used to get DP, my hourly usage with my body varies, although there is routine. E.g.drive up to an hour to work-so not much energy there, up to 6hrs average gardening, then an hour driveback, then more physical usage with other hobbies. The exercise all day continues to refect into my early evening rates being lower as well. The beauty of a pump isn't it? Mdi never gave this flexibility! I did get odd blips around certain weeks but have a way round this now too. The pump is the worst thing for blipping me. I have had some probs with a particular box of tubes that pushed airbubbles through irregularly when priming.. This actually meant that when in use the tubes weren't delivering the insulin through regularly. When I identified this problem and went to a different batch number then my blips ceased. Odd blips happen. I had to decide what to do about days when I'm not gardening etc and using up different amounts of exercise. I know that the clocks changing will affect me. I'm very aware that July has always been my worst times previously for a severe hypo. Everyone is different. We all have different metabolisms, activitys etc.. So it does take some playing around with. Loving life [/QUOTE]
