[QUOTE="iHs, post: 861601, member: 8799"] @ victry77 Although some of yr bg problems might be down to the type of set you are using and where you are inserting it, the cause of high or low bg is usually due to a change in basal need. So try to do a basal test for the evening and then you will see when yr bg starts to change. Also, try to keep yr sets inserted in the same area for a while until you are able to stabilise yr bg with the settings you use. Pumps are hard work initially and I too felt like going back to injections and at times when bg goes high for whatever reason, I resort to using my pen to deliver the bolus and then tackle the pump, wait to see if a pattern occurs the next day and if it does, adjust the basal settings so that day 3 will be better. Just write all the old settings down on paper so that you know what you are doing if you need to alter things a touch. Slowly, you will get there and dont let diabetes get on top of you. [/QUOTE]
