[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 2686466, member: 53162"] Sorry but a couple of weeks and you will feel jittery, it's just a couple of weeks into a lifetime of pump therapy, expectations with pumps are incredibly high but you don't realise that after some work making adjustments that life can become so much better - ease off the gas and take your time, good control doesn't happen quickly, it takes time. Have you discussed this with your DSN and made any adjustments yet since starting ? Also have you tried doing any basal fasting tests yet ? As you will need to do this on an ongoing basis to tweak doses. Pumps require effort but it depends on your expectations, as I thought the same when I started but didn't realise that the first few weeks are the worst until ratios are adjusted and fine tuned. Approx 6 years into pumping and I would never go back to MDI, ever ! [/QUOTE]
