[QUOTE="azure, post: 1008974, member: 39639"] I started on a flat basal rate, which was worked out by my pump trainer and was pretty good for a place to begin, with the exception of two hours of lower basal in the early hours of the morning as I always go low then. I only had to adjust ever so slightly.over the first few days I do think it can make a big difference in where you start from. If your basals are really off then it'll be harder to nudge them into line. So what I'm saying is don't blame yourself [USER=161717]@Gaz-M[/USER] My BS was very good very quickly, but that was largely down to the skill of my trainer in correctly estimating what would work best for me. If he'd been less good, I'd have taken much longer to get sorted. Once you get that basal right, you'll be flying :) [/QUOTE]
