Can someone help me with going from a injection to a pump.
I have the feeling that i have to bolus less since I am using my pump (2 days). I started with Kaleido on monday 18.0p

My injections were with Novorapid and Levermir

Day injection (monday bg after meals around 6/7)
Morning 8e on 40 carbs snack 19c
Lunch 8.5e on 35 carbs snack 16c
Dinner 10.5e on 55 carbs
Levermir 15e

Insuline pump today:
Basal 13.05 through the day

Morning bolus 5.5 on 40 carbs snack 19c 8.9bg at lunch time

Lunch bolus 5.5 on 35 carbs at 15.00 bg of 5.1 took 40 carbs and at 17.00 bg of 3.3

I did not bolus. I have the feeling i need less insulin than before and I just started.

Does anyone has experince with this?

I was told I needed less insulin on a pump than injecting. Something to do with it going “straight in”.
Thankfully, i had assistance from my diabetes team setting the doses.
