[QUOTE="scotteric, post: 1621858, member: 453103"] I second what Tim said, you can't truly know what's going on without a CGM. It's akin to living without a glucometer in 1995. The problem with health professionals is that many (not all) will make it sound like you just figure out your ratios, dose according to them and everything should work out splendid. In reality there are far too many variables. Also, a pump does make things easier if your basal rates are variable. I'm able to get similar results using a pump or MDI, but only because my basal needs are pretty constant and I don't experience much of a dawn phenomenon with my Levemir dose. If I did, I probably would still be pumping. [/QUOTE]
