How have you been today, have you managed to speak to your DSN? Have you managed to adjust your basal or bolus to help bring down the high's?
Don't be afraid to try. Try to makesure though that you test very frequently especially in the hours where you may have adjusted your levels the day before. Don't forget if you go high then your basal rates for the 3 hours before your high's will need to be changed...NOT the hour that you actually start to go high.....same in reverse for low's.....
Have you got enough blood strips from your GP, you will probably find for the first 6 months at least that you will use at least an average of 10 a day.
Don't be afraid to change your basals / bolus....at the end of the day, it is you that is living with the diabetes 24/7/365, not your DSN. It is you that needs to master the pump, not your DSN. The quicker you get the confidence to manage it, the sooner you will feel better about what you are doing. Honest, I had huge support from iSA that I will never forget when I went to pump, and still now 6 months on she is always there for me. For the first time ever my husband actually understands my diabetes and what I have to do to manage it, don't be afraid to ask here. Although I am the only one that has answered at the moment, you are not alone, and us pumpers have a lot of everyday experiences that occur, which DSN's and reps etc may not fully realise what we cope with. It is a huge change over in our lives going over to a pump, and honestly, if it hadn't been for the huge amount of support that I got from iSA I really don't know how I would have managed initially.
You will be fine, but the best advice given from me is to gain the confidence to change the basals and bolus. Your DSN I am sure will be happier that you have confidence with the pump to alter things and checking for patterns in levels etc that waiting for her to give advice.
Sent you a pm......best wishes...Sharon
