Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

The recommended settings are for your AIT to be 2 hours and to have you target blood sugar set at the lowest value. Obviously that doesn’t work for everyone and it’s trial and error whether it will work (it doesn’t for me but I did try it) you just have to make sure to trial it for at least a week so the pump can get used to the changes. If you do have these settings I’d look into trialling different carb ratios.I can see you’re from the UK and I doubt it works differently around the county but usually they can’t just take you off the pump, they only review it every 4 years and it goes to an independent pane who weigh up whether it’s beneficial for you to still stay on it. Even during my bad periods when I was always high they never took me off it. At the end of the day regardless of how they feel about how you’re treating your diabetes they are there to assist you when you fall off the wagon.You obviously have a lot more going on and diabetes isn’t at the forefront of your mind, have you spoken to your GP about how you’re feeling to see if they can help, possibly refer you to someone to speak to?</blockquote>
