[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 1008897, member: 30007"] [USER=187593]@irrationalJohn[/USER], that does seem to be a very busy graph. [USER=161717]@Gaz-M[/USER] , what insulin were you on prior to going on to the pump, and how much, and what time was it administered? I only ask as I set my pump up to use a basal profile that mimicked the basal doses I was taking as my start point, which were generally giving me a flat fasted blood glucose level. Setting it up using a CGM based on your CGM plot is an interesting idea. Were you given that CGM when you started on a pump with a flat basal rate or is it compared to using a basal with a variable absorption rate, like Lantus? If you are having problems, I'd be tempted to suggest to the DSN when you see them that it might make sense to set a single rate for 24 hours and to run basal tests (or borrow another CGM) that show you when your glucose varies up or down.
