[QUOTE="ebony321, post: 202192, member: 17199"] I can imagine it's difficult to pin point hypo's and causes if you have them so frequently! Have you tried breaking the whole thing down to basic doses and working your way up again? I mean by slashing your basals and ratios right down, and building them back up, sort of like starting a fresh. But it would mean you would have alot of highs in the beginning. I did this with MDI a few times when i couldn't get things right and sometimes it worked for a while, until i traded it in for the pump! I understand what you mean by sort of having a break then coming back fresh faced, it's hard when it's an everyday thing and it does get tiring. 5 days doesn't seem quite long enough really does it, would they not let you double that period at all? You're right in saying you still have your limbs, your brain, comfortable living, but still give yourself some credit, it takes courage and effort to tackle diabetes head on, especially if you've been struggling with hypo's for so long, and so many! I went through a period of having around 2-4 hypos a day, this was in the early days of the pump, it absolutely drove me crazy and i really did think about handing it back, i felt like i was being terrorized! so i sort of know how you feel. I wish i could be of more help and suggest something new and innovative! Do keep trying, try starting over maybe, see if you can get the CGM for longer than five days. Keep a diary and try to find a good routine you can settle into whilst your getting things on track. Keep posting too and let us know how you get on. You can do it, i'm sure of it. Some people get it right straight away (lucky buggers) and some people (like me thats for sure) take a bit longer as everyones different. good luck :) [/QUOTE]
