[QUOTE="josie38, post: 156294, member: 27179"] Hi mushypea, I was very confused when i started on my pump in aug. My bs were a bit high as well and it was explained that to get it right takes time. You haven't metioned what pump you are using. I am using a spirit combo which comes with a blood monitor which acts as a bolus advisor. I would suggest that you try phoning the pump nurse and ask her advice. During my first three weeks i had to go and see mine 4 times for hi sugars and eventually she changed my insulin which has worked wonders and now it is manageable. My basal rate was set at 0.7u at first but now im on 0.9ubetween 3-9am and 0.8u rest of the day. Maybe you are changing to much at once and not giving it time to settle down. Like jopar said try changing one thing at a time. hope it all goes well josie [/QUOTE]
