All doses of insulin are unique to the individual. If this dose is working for your mother then yes, it would be correct. It's impossible to compare insulin doses with others because of how different they can be from person to person. All the best Indiana x Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, treat hypos and inject as normal. Don't count the carbs that you used to treat the hypo in with your bolus dose though :) Feel better soon. Indiana x

:D

Loved the show last night! I wouldn't eat anything that the guy with the beard cooked though! He needed to have a hair net or something on that! Indiana x

Not really no! I'm getting very confused about it! I've been diabetic for 18 years and feel like a newbe again! I've increased my basal by another .05 today. Indiana x

Thanks guys, I'll have a look at that. My ratios are fine, they're the same as what they were when I was on injections and they work, I'm having to correct at every meal though which is why I think it's my basal. I'm correcting in the middle of the night, first thing in the morning and...

Thanks :) I've been hovering at around the 11 mark in the day time too so I've increased my basal throughout from 1.1uph to 1.15uph I don't know how much of a difference .05 makes but I was a bit scared of increasing it too much! Indiana x

I normally correct when I wake up high and then wake up at about 13. I'm thinking it's my basal too. Thanks for your advice Nicola :) How long have you been on a pump? Indiana x

I usually have my tea at around 7 and then have a snack at about 9-10 and then bed at 11. I bolus for all of my snacks Indiana x

Someone should be able to refer you to somebody! I know that the pump team at my hospital are also the pump team for two others so maybe some other consultants will be covering your clinic too. Hope it gets sorted! Indiana x

No idea. It wakes me up at around 2-3am. I go to bed at around 11 and my bg usually about 6-8

I'm going to do some basal testing next week, I've been on the pump for a week now so I've been getting used to it and things. Time to start tweaking doses now! To test night time basal do you test hourly like you would in the day time? Indiana x

Very interesting. I'm finding that this week I've been having my dinner and then I might have a snack later on in the night and I'll bolus for them individually. In the night though my bg is going up to 19! I'm on the accu chek combo Indiana x

I was wondering if anyone could give me a few examples of foods that you would use an extended bolus for. I know that you would with pizza and pasta but what else? Thanks :) Indiana x

Sorry, could you explain this to me please? Wash the cannula? 4 sets of what a year? Thanks Indiana x

Thanks guys, I changed it all this time so I could learn how it do it (it was my first one on my own without my DSN) I know what to do now for next time. Thanks for your replies :) Indiana x

Thanks, I'll change the whole lot then :) Indiana x

My pump had just beeped at me to say that it needs filling again. I'm not due to change my cannula until tomorrow so shall I just fill it up and attach it to the one I already have or shall I put a new one in? Sorry for such a novice question! Indiana x

I'd forgotten I started this thread! Some very interesting replies, glad I'm not the only one with those symptoms :) Indiana x

Brilliant, thanks Brett. Indiana x
