People that can't listen to other people's opinions.
People that can't say sorry.
Can I ask how often pump people find that they have to change their basal rates or bolus rates?
I'm still having to do this fairly often, but I don't know whether this is pain related or because GP alters my pain medciation so frequently, or whether other people are also finding that using a pump that they find their basals rates are having to be altered as much as me.
I am not trying to get 'perfect' levels', I just find that I can go a while with normal blood readings, then I find I am fighting hyp'o's and then get back to a normal keel with my blood readings and then after a couple of days I will be fighting of high levels.
My activitys are routine all day, everyday really, as people know me here, they will also know that even my eating routines are pretty routine as well....so I really can't see why I think I am running at tickety boo levels one minute, hypo's for a while, het them balanced off, and go back to normal readings and bang my levels will raise again.
Is it possible to actually have say a month without touching any basal or bolus rates on the pump?
