[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 161857, member: 17713"] Hi Mushy... So how did your DSN work out your carb ratio's for your pump? I had always used 1unit to 10g for 25 years, but on pump I worked my own out, and they are now 1 to 8g at breakfast, 1 to 17(!!!) for lunch and 1 to 10g for my evening meal (although I have had it down to 1 to 8g but was getting too many lower readings 3 hours after my evening meal. If you have a fasting say and miss out your breakfast, are your levels remaining level 3-4 hours after your normal mealtime on just your basal rates, and your how about your other meals if they are skipped? If you levels go up 3-4 hours after your meals compared to when just on basal and fasting then you need to lower the amount of grams on your bolus i.e if it was set by DSN as 1 to 10, next day try 1 to 9 or 1 to 8 (depending on how high your levels go).
