[QUOTE="azure, post: 1472298, member: 39639"] [USER=274003]@jemmaedias[/USER] Dont underestimate the effect stress can have on your BS. Perhaps some of your problems are to do with that, or, at least, are being made worse by stress. As Helensaramay says, all a pump does is give you more and better tools to deal with your Type 1. It won't give you good control automatically. I was lucky enough to have my basal rate set up pretty accurately when I first got my pump so I then only had to do tiny tweaks to it myself. If you can say a little more about when you're getting the highs, etc, then you may get some helpful suggestions. Remember that you can do this : ) Getting your basal right can take a few weeks as obviously all changes have to be small and cautious to avoid hypos. If it was me, I'd concentrate on segments of the day to get right (or close to right) and not change too much at one time. [/QUOTE]
