[QUOTE="iHs, post: 381826, member: 8799"] I didnt do any serious daytime basal rate testing for a fair few months. Instead I just altered my basal rates and my carb bolus ratios according to the advice DD's consultant gave her when she started pumping and then just staggered my eatimg times a bit to see how things were going and using my correction factor to get me back to some sort of normalish bg levels if they were too high and eat a bit of carb if I was going a bit low. Using a pump is very hard work at times as its ability to control bg levels really does depend on getting the settings correct and that can only be done with any success by frequent bg testing and writing everything down. I use a pump bg monitoring diary and am able to write down my carb ratios, correction factor, hourly basal rates, carb eaten, bg tests. Mind boggling at times but writing data down on paper works fairly well and should guide you what to adjust [/QUOTE]
