[QUOTE="pumppimp, post: 437500, member: 52090"] Hi Mentat, You sound like me when I was on injections except I could never manage to get an HbA1c below 10. Even when I was on my pump I found that I still regularly have to use my temporary basal rates and I have different bolus ratios set up throughout the day and for different sorts of days I change it as well. The reason behind all that are my hormone levels it was only a few years ago that I found I had two cervixes and duplex ovaries that have a lot of cysts on them, when I had genetic screening they told me I had an extra bit added onto my DNA (I don't think extra chromosome but I can't quite remember) anyways, when I found this out it made a lot of sense. I used as much info as I could and tried to use some cues from my body to pre-empt any major swings which has helped a lot but I still can't wait to get a CGM this Christmas which will help even more. Hormones don't just have to effect ladies although we are more prone to things, but you also get them from stress, enjoyment and any emotion you have some times even subconsciously. I would try and find out why you need so many changes, but also if there might be an easier way for you to cope with constantly changing ratios. Whenever I tried to find out about my hormone swings and bgs my consultant told me hormones don't have any effect on your BG levels, it was my gynae Dr who helped with everything the most. Good luck let us know how you get on. Laura [/QUOTE]
