Message: <blockquote data-quote="James472" data-source="post: 2650916" data-attributes="member: 471261">A lot !  Ummmmmmm, let me try and calculate (every day is completely different), but .............. between 150 to 180.  Each new cartridge (which holds 300) usually gets replaced in less than 2 days.  Some days are even worse !!  I just wouldn't have expected a pump to have been designed to play at those levels - for safety reasons.No ....... it wouldn't touch the sides [USER=372207]@Antje77[/USER] .  A small basal would be next to no use, when playing with my numbers.  And for the reasons I explained, I definitely don't want to be shoving in large basal doses.  Thing is, basal is about giving you some background stability, and reducing the amount of injecting you might need to do.  But stability isn't even in the equation with my situation, and I'm already, absolutely requiring to inject regularly - I have no choice.  So basal (at the moment) offers me no huge advantage, but it does threaten me with an occasional 'kick in the Bazookas' !</blockquote>
