[QUOTE="rockape37, post: 1217856, member: 156959"] I was told when I was put on the pump 4 weeks ago that it is expected of me to make alterations. Anyway I have had Low BG's since day one of pump therapy but have been knocking down by using the temp basal rate feature then set it up as a permanent thing. I record on paper my new settings for good reference. My Basal rate when on injections was 36 units and the day I went on the pump it rose to a whopping 64 units, it put a stop to the Dawn Phenomenon though. I really wished I had questioned this whopping dose! I've now reduced my basal to much lower than when I was on Injections and still Dawn Phenomenon free. I still haven't been able to do any basal testing because of the lows so I'm tackling the Carb Ratios. It takes time and I think everyone will agree that you should take note of any adjustments so that you can step back or step back a little bit if needed. I re record my carb settings on paper highlighting the actual ratio that I have changed purely for ease of seeing the change, it helps me anyway. Good luck. Regards Martin [/QUOTE]
