[QUOTE="jopar, post: 145584, member: 11712"] HI Tracey Different Clinic do start the pumpers off in different manner.. Has your DN told you to change your background insulin before you appointment? If she hasn't then it's likely that your clinic will start you off on the pump using saline at first, most liekly for a week, you carry on with your MDI injection as well as work the insulin pump.. Then on your next appointment you will be told how to adjust the background insulin, if you are on one injection at night, you probably be told to reduce this by half.. If you split your dose you are likely to be told to take the nights before, but not the morning... I would invest in a book called Pumping Insulin by John Walsh... It's known as the pumpers bible [/QUOTE]
