Going through a rough patch these past couple of days. Did my first set change on friday and everything went well. Since then though I can't seem to get my blood below 10. I know the cannula is okay because my bloods do come down a little but never enough. Inputting all the correct carbs intp my calculator for my 640G to work out. Just feeling like it's all useless
Hi jimmysmith, once again I vividly remember what you're going through. When I went live things were amazing for about 5 days maximum. I was stable, running at about 5mmol all day long! I was over the moon with the results I was getting so soon.
It was short lived, like you I started running about 12mmol. Please stay positive, I'm still working on getting things right. It takes time and patience. You need to see patterns, do fasting basal tests and change things slowly, then wait and watch for any improvement and adjust again every 3 days. Change one thing at a time.
Please believe me, it gets better! I had shoulder surgery not long after starting my pump and it caused absolute havoc, on top of results I was trying to lower.
I'm 7 weeks in & I've only just got started making more adventurous changes to time blocks, basal rates and ratios.
I promise you you'll be getting pleasing results before you know it
Take care,
Christine
