I know these days im going to have to test alot more every 2 hours but im so happy!
The only thing last time i was on it was getting alot of lows so starting now on my -20%
but even that's a little to much if i knock down 0.5 every hour on each profile is that worth doing? or should i wait till next week and send to diasend to nurses?

By all means be guided by your pump DSN if unsure what to do @Type1Lad, just test more frequently until you know that your basal rates and I:C ratio's are right, if your unsure on how to do a basal check then have a look at the following:

Good luck and hope you get sorted.

thanks for that link i've gone to my -10% for now as i'm running at 12 atm, so don't know whats going on will hopefully be able to do this, they say do night ones first right?

Yes I'd start with your night basal rate first, reason being if you get that right it means you have a good third of your day sorted, plus if you wake with in-range bg levels it sets you up for the day and leaves you feeling positive.

Just one other thing, there's a excellent book you should purchase (if you don't own one already) called Pumping Insulin, it's a must read for those who are new to pumping insulin or for those who are thinking of changing over. Let us know how you get on.

Think Like a Pancreas has some good chapters on Insulin Pumps and getting the most from one, read through it again as this will help refresh your pump knowledge.
