I was low as well at 3.5 at 5.30am . So I will try a slight reduction tonight. My basal does change though a lot, it also did on MDI.. Like my pump so far though.

Have you done a DAFNE. course. This is brilliant and type 1 diabetics learn a lot. I have been typ1 for 50yrs and learnt a lot. It also can improve how you feel mentally once you get more in control. If you havent done it ask your DSN nurse to get .you on one

I will be watching this post as mine gets quite warm at night in bed. I have had to increase my basal 30% lately though posibly due to cold weather

sorry to hear of your troubles. I can offer no help though as mine alters as well Though not so much as yours I put in a temp basal which seems to sort it. I used to change a lot on MDI also.

hi Maryam I agree with bolusing before a meal . I used to do this on MDI but find the insulin works faster on a pump so only do it about 8 or 10 mins before. obviously do it gradually and see what happens. I also have only been on a pump for a month. My basal ALSO changes from day to day I...

I now have an animas pump. but I am occasionally at the moment using a libre to help as my basal requirements seem to change. However the last couple of sensors have been inacurate on day 12 onwards even 3.5 and more on day 14. The last one I removed it on day 12. I did get one replaced once...

i have been on a vibe for a month now. I have not had bubble problems. However once when i removed an insulin cartridge it had a lot of tiny bubbles in. I had a thought on this, When I fill my cartridge with insulin, you have to first put air into the insulin bottle. If too much is put in maybe...

I have had a Vibe for 3 weeks now, I am a new pumper. Gone very well so far still learning though. I feel better than when I was on MDI haveing fewer hypos. I feel more in control. The area rep is very helpfull and has been training me. Seen her twice so far and very impressed by the after care...

I am a new pumper of only 2 weeks. Reading my litrature on the pump it advises changing sets prior to a meal. I had one fail yesterday due to leakage.(lesson learnt). my levels went to 19.8. so used pen to get down. Though thinking about how it all works, the skin is like a pad of flexible...

I had a horrendous day today. Changed my set before breakfast this morning. Tested and bolused for food. about 2 hours later felt a bit off so did a scan with the libra flash which i had on( I also changed the sensor on the morning). Horror I was 19.7.with 0.5 Ketones. then bolused via pump but...

you can now probably get an appointment with your Doctor hopefully in time

I have just found out ..only a GP doctor, Nurse practitioner ,Or Pharmacist (attached to gp surgery) is allowed to add it to prescriptions at my surgery I use.

what i meant was my basal, sometimes needs increasing for a couple of hours after a set change. Strangely though my last one went well with no problems.

I have been on MDI for 50 years and so far like my pump. I find it is more adjustable as if it is altered, it is affected straight away not having to wait until the next injection. Still early day's with me though

i am not sure all i know is the lady called it a patch port so i presume is not invasive. wish i could speak with her

i got one just a week ago. so far l love it. mine still needs to be better but i like it. I think soon though something else will be coming out, it may be available now. My daughter takes her 5 yr old daughter to school and she noticed a young lad same age doing something. She spoke to his...

i have had a vibe for one week now. It's easy to use. I had the same choice to make. I chose the vibe as recently there were peaple having a lot of occlusions with the medtronic. I know it depends on which canula is used but it is a pump and possibly canula is not the whole story to consider. I...

thanks for the support. After my set change i ran high for a few hours. Even corrected and increased with + 40% temp basal. But is now working and sugars good. I have a good stock of blood sticks. I also have a Libre. One problem is, I was on Toujeo which takes 3 or 4 day's to get out of the...

thanks for that . I now feel more in control and that is after just 1 day. Settings not quite correct but will get there. Just done my first set change so bit nervous

thanks for the encouragement. I have just done my first set change at home, it was very nerve racking. think it ok. Just had my lunch so I will know soon. Can't see any leaks at site or pump. I like the pump so far but I can also understand why some do not want one. I feel more in control now...
