[QUOTE="Hawra1981, post: 1275453, member: 343023"] Hi Azur, thanks a lot for your reply :). Well, yes I have tried to readjust the units I inject etc.. I have tried pretty much everything that I have found. Before I travel abroad, I was in contact with my clinic and consultant for this issue very regularly. Apparently I didn't qualify for a pump at that time because I could treat my own hypos and I have never called an ambulance for that reason! This is unfair because I treat my own hypos as soon as I have one in order to avoid calling an ambulance! So basically one has to be good at it and I am not!! I am not suggesting that all pump users have exaggerated their case but just saying that the system is really not too fair as I don't want to call an ambulance if I can avoid it! I think in short, my body is very sensitive to insulin so I need little insulin but frequently to avoid hyper.. if I inject anything more than 4 units of rapid acting , I will have a hypo 3 hours down the line.. and that also means that I cant have more than 40g of carb per meal because I carb count and that is the ratio! Complicated, I know! Sorry to bore you with this. I hope someone can share their experience of using Dexcom soon.. [/QUOTE]
