I had shoulder surgery on Monday, I opted for a nerve block to avoid GA and slower recovery.
The day went as well as could be expected and luckily my bloods were of acceptable level.
The flowing day the nerve block had worn off and I was in intense pain and due to running 13mmol I introduced a a 20% TBR which helped a bit.
Spoke to my nurse on Wednesday who said to keep running the TBR for as long as needed and like we know, I was told it was the pain causing the highs.
I'm now day 5, pain has eased but I'm still running the 20% TBR but bloods are never below 10mmol.
My nurse is ringing on Monday to see how things are but I'm tempted to increase my TBR further 10%from 120% to 130%.
I'm a new pump user and have yet to get my basal rates tuned, and now this is just causing more frustration
Shall I increase the TBR?
I just want some moral support the worst pain is over and I'm not seeing good numbers.
Thanks in anticipation, Christine
