[QUOTE="rachems, post: 594186, member: 84016"] Hi guys, I'm brand new to the pump and need a little help with my basal rate. (I'm on the Medtronic Paradigm Veo if you wanted to know.) I started the pump 2 weeks ago and my basal rate was 0.4 flat rate. Since then it has doubled to 0.8. I'm still getting the odd high and low at random points in the day but every morning I'm waking up with my BG in double figures :( usually around 15. Iv increased my rate during the night to 0.85 to see if this helps. I'm also having regular appointments at my diabetes centre and my diabetes nurse has been encouraging me to tweak the rates myself to what I think I need. Its just a bit disheartening when the 2 people who started the pump the same time as me have been having near perfect bloods from day 1 on the pump and mine have been crazy :( My carb ratio is 1:1 and iv been told to keep this the same. Any tips as far as basal rate is concerned would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
