@CarbsRok I'm a little apprehensive that it's suddenly gonna make me drop into a hypo. I've since increased it to 80 as it wasn't as low as I'd like and I still have high ketones. I only have the urine sticks, so I'm just getting the purple colour, I'm drinking plenty of water but im...

Thanks all its been a bit of a roller coaster last 12 hours. Been running at 50% since around 2am and was taking extra injection but the pen had a malfunction and wasn't issuing any insulin at all, hadn't notice coz I'd been injecting in the dark, another lesson learnt. Bg stayed between...

I've had a +20% running since about 12 noon. keep starting it when it runs the course, no never knew that but know what you mean now you've said it. great idea. Will do that with other injections.

The youngest of my children now has the bug and I'm starting to get symptoms that they've all described, Im grateful for the high bg now as I haven't eaten since 1ish this afternoon. So nothing in my tummy. I changed and started all process from fresh, insulin, site tube.etc and bg came down to...

Thanks the only thing I've not done is change the insulin. I may have to use from pen as I only have the one vial. changed everything on 24th and was working fine, I thought but probably looking at bg test since yesterday morning there has been a steady rise, as if something has been working...

I guys. Having a nightmare, bg has been steadily rising all day woke at 13 now I'm 22. This is what I've done. Changed set at 12 noon. Was still rising Changed tubing and refilled cartridge at 4.30 when I was at 19.6 incase something was leaking just tested and I'm 22. Not had anything...

I was like this Tues weds with test, going low about 4ish so never finished tests but still reduced from 0.875 to 0.825 and yesterday to 0.800. Still a little low at 5 ish again today so tomorrow will be 0.775, it was a lot better I think today as I wasn't droping drastically so I do feel like...

Target is 7 at the moment I'm gonna I've already adjusted for 10 and 2, but won't basal test this slot again till Monday now as my weekdays are different to weekends so I'll work on my over night ones tomorrow and see if there the same as Monday night Tues morning.

woke on 9.8 at 7.15am Then 9.30 9.8 10.30. 7.6 11.30. 9.3 12.00 11.1 I know the variance in this could be bolus. Not even considering analysing that yet. Haha.

It's so puzzling. at the moment it's been one rate from 7am though till 6pm. while I seen where the rises and drops have been. So it falls at 12ish by about 2-3 on 3 days of the last 5. stays steady from 13.00 till about 16.00 then takes another dive. So on reading books and all the good...

So. I've been having low bloods around 4-5pm for 4 days straight have reduced basal and Done basal test today, so no food or bolus since 7 this morning. Tests were 12.00. 11.1 13.12. 10.2 13.58. 7.3 14.30. 6.4 15.20. 7.0 16.45. 5.4 17.16. 5.2...

Yes it's all a bit much at the moment @irrationalJohn, I will not quit, but I may rant on a bit while getting there. Some day I hope I can be as much help and support to newbies as you lot on here are to me.

Have you seen an Improvement in A1c since starting on pump. It's really starting to dawn on me how much work this is going to take and there's a lot of variables to take in to account. But to know there is an improvement coming makes it worth while.

Hi it's me with another question. Does where you put you onset affect your absorption of insulin. I'm asking coz for two days I've had good BGs all under 10, some heading low toward hypo but nothing too drastic, and inset was in my thigh, towards the back changed inset this morning and put...

Hi @iHs yes I've always thought I need more bolus in evening during to it being my laziest time of day and the largest of my meals carb wise. I've got my Bg target at 7 with a + - of 2.4. I understand what it means the + or - but not sure on the impact it has on the pumps calculation. I do...

Yes I too am using the record logs for BGs etc. it's very clear to see patterns with it. I wish they were a little bigger though I find it hard to fit my handwriting in. Also keeping notes on how I feel site positions etc. Done the Basal test overnight, although I had changed cart and site...

Hi @Gaz-M. It's confusing at the moment isn't it. I've not even tried to use the diasend that was in the box, so well done for that. Ive started on a.flat rate basal. Hypos on Friday and sat morning at around 10-10.30. So.reduced my basal from this morning from 7am-11am. Mornings tend...

Hi guys. More questions. Had 2 hypos today after changing basal rate last night so obviously needs another adjustment, but as I'm out and about today have used a temp basal rate -10% for 4 hours. is this appropriate for this situation.

Top marks for you. I didn't do it but realised about 4.15 so changed the inset again, 3 times in 1 day, filled cannula etc. And my bg was 12.3 about 30 mins. It had gone up to over 17. so I bolused again as I figured the machine thinks I already have IOB, which I don't coz it never made it...

Just went to redo cannula, as bg had not been coming down. The cannula wasn't even in it was bent under the adhesive. Lesson learnt.
