[QUOTE="mrman, post: 381433, member: 40510"] Sorry to hear your having a bad time. I recently had the pump and took a few weeks to get sorted. Hard thing was getting the basal right. Only way to do it is fasting tests by eating at a set time and giving bolus with that meal, test 4 hours later, not eat for another 4 hours taking measurements every hour to see what the basal is doing. From the results you can make changes to basal. If a snack or correction is needed prior to the test don't do the test and try again the next day. This is the hard bit as if they are way off you will have to guess an adjustment to carry out the test next time. My advice would be to split the day into 4 and only do one four hour period at a time. Do not do on consecutive days. Very hard to do all that I know, but, wk worth it once the basals are done. Then you can concentrate on getting bolus ratios correct. Sent from my GT-S5360 using DCUK Forum mobile app [/QUOTE]
