[QUOTE="saruhbeau, post: 1562656, member: 308335"] Thanks Azure! I started my pump on Wednesday [IMG]https://s26.postimg.org/x4o7v55ix/2017-09-14_10.19.28.jpg[/IMG] It's been a difficult few days.. and my DSN went away on holiday on Friday for 10 days so not the best timing, I spoke to her on Thurs though. I have been left to it to change basals although she did give me instructions. I feel more confident than I did on Thursday hah! At first I was on a fixed basal rate every hour, but I have increased it from 2am til 6am where I seem to go high. I'm going hypo every evening too so am reducing that 2 hours before I am going hypo to start tomorrow. It has been a bit worrying to see my levels a bit all over the place. I'm testing every 2 hours though (got through 50 strips since Wednesday! ) Had a nightmare this morning where I woke up to find my kitten had chewed completely through the tubing and blood sugars were 20! Highest they have been since I got pregnant...need to get a pouch or something to hold it. I'm not missing injections that is for sure :) I expect as soon as basal levels are sorted my insulin requirements will increase.... I am just over 18 weeks and have noticed my insulin carb ratio and correction factor have changed so I need more insulin. Guessing it will just keep rising now! [/QUOTE]
