Hello all!
Has anyone tried the 'untethered' regimen (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Untethered_regimen)? I've been doing it for a month and getting the best consistent blood sugars I've had in my 13 years diagnosed. I find that when I'm solely on the pump (novorapid) I gain silly amounts of weight very quickly, have little energy and am prone to massively high BGs when things go wrong with my canula. When doing basal/bolus my Levemir never seems to quite get it right and I end up having to take lots of extra injections for morning-time highs etc. This is brilliant as I just have a basal rate on my pump delivering the extra novorapid that I need for these periods plus for my boluses but the levemir doing the main basal work. Also nice not to feel like you have to plug back in the minute you get out of the shower etc.!
Has anyone else tried/considered trying?
