[QUOTE="iHs, post: 577535, member: 8799"] Nicola I really am not sure as to why youve been given a pump in the first place. Most people who get pumps do get some guidance if they need it through a pump trained dsn. There are loads of info now about pumps and how to use them on the web and through buying the pumping insulin book. Some of it is common sense as my consultant said...its only an insulin delivering device. If you had phoned Accu chek about yr problem with bg etc, they would have contacted yr dsn who then would have been obligated to contact you and sorted out yr problems. Look after yrself and be independent. Dont rely on other people, rely on yrself and read the Accu chek Combo manuals.......its all there....youve just got to wade through it and use common sense. As a very very general guide.(this works okish for me)......basal rate sdjustments will be 0.10u will alter bg levels by about 1mmol on the Combo so dont get confused with the decimal point as some pumps work differently. You may only need to alter yr basals by 0.07 to make bg change by 1mmol but then again, you may need more. Everyone is different so do plenty of bg tests and use trial and error to sort yourself out.
