well people here sure are going to get annoyed with the amount of posts I put on BUT I'm very easily confused and as the only other T1 diabetic I know is my cousin who is not on a pump, she wont be able to help me!!!!
OK well I've seen the recent post by Unicornz re DP and changing basal amounts to compensate and have been following it... I'd never even noticed I suffered from the wonderful phenomenon until I went onto the pump... probably due to now testing 3x as much as i did before much to my doctors annoyance :lol:
When I go back to work next week I am planning on doing some fasting tests and making alterations etc HOWEVER I was a bit worried... I do my BG (Does anyone else call it BM? I really have to concentrate when I'm typing to not slip up as everyone here seems to call it BG whereas I grew up BM - blood monitoring - ok so a bit off topic) and when I wake up it's usually about 6... when im at work I usually have my brekky around 8am by which point the reading has risen to about 11+...
I know this has more than likely been answered somewhere so please dont be annoyed with me but my concern is this... dependant on how hungry I am or how much money I have I sometimes eat brekky early (ie before I leave the house to go to work) would this not mean i'd then go hypo?
unfortunately I dont think it will be as easy to sort on my days off because I have no routine - sometimes ill wake at 6 and eat at 8, other days i may not wake up until 8 and eat maybe 9am or 10am (depends on how nice my hubby is feeling, he'll more often than not take the kids down and let me sleep) but i'll cross that bridge when i come to it
