[QUOTE="CarbsRok, post: 1111199, member: 14029"] No1 rule for pumping is sort your basal first. If you start changing ratios etc., before the basal is sorted then you will have one complete mess and wont have a clue what's going on. Kinked or bent cannulas are not helpful and can lead to making basal testing a non starter so sort your cannula's first then basal test. Different sites quite often have different absorption rates so find where your absorption is best and use that area for basal testing. Once this is sorted then if you know you need say for example 10% more basal if the cannula is in your bum then you can set a temp basal with +10% [/QUOTE]
