[QUOTE="ellecook79, post: 357862, member: 41461"] The hosptial will help you work it out. As a general guide as a starting point, insulin requirements are reduced by a third. I presume that you match bolus to carbohydrate intake already? By way of example, when I started on my pump, my basal insulin requirements were reduced by a third but my bolus ratios remained the same. I have in fact had to incraes my basal insulin quote a bit to get it right - for me thr "reduce it by a third" guesstimate did not work! [/QUOTE]
