those results are very good yes there were a few lows in the night but u dont expect things to be perfect right out, the 8.1, 7.1, 7.5 was perfect she was holding stable in a general area so sounds like ur in the right area with the basals except for the night time obviously. i found with dylan...

yes we did have a small amount of ketones with the bubbles but we sorted it quickly it did scare me how quickly things progressed with the insulin struggling to get passed the bubble tho i must admit. when a pump works its brilliant and i feel its the best choice we made for us i think the key...

the thing with a pump is if something does go wrong it goes wrong rapidly so u def did the right thing in getting checked. we love dylans pump life is so much easier but we have had issues with bubbles and ive noticed one bubble can make things spiral out of control very quickly but if ur on top...

yes we did with dylan when he was on injections he used to have really bad hypos in the night which resulted in him fitting but that is why we were given the pump and since his control is so much better we dont have the same problem. diabetes is scary but when u get on top of it all u just take...

i understand ur concerns and its hard being a grandparent looking on the situation as im sure u can prob not do anything right and feel powerless to the situation. i wish dylan had a hba1c as good as ur granddaughters his has never been that low in 5 years altho i can understand u worrying that...

id go with the strips we have some fab dsns but if it was a choice between them and the strips the strips show me alot more in whats happening to dylan personally than the dsn ever could. we would be in alot of trouble with no test strips as dylan doesnt seem to know the difference between high...

my son loves his pump it has been the best choice we have ever made, we struggled to get control but with the pump it can give such precise amounts of insulin we have found control easier to get having said that the pump is no easy option there is so much work involved but when u crack it it is...

im so sorry to hear ur story we have fought for 5 years to get dylans diabetes under control but like u no matter what we did his bloods averaged in the 20 to 30s it was very frustrating as it wasnt through lack of trying, his insulins were changed and rechanged until id had enough and asked...
