[QUOTE="Leebee, post: 234678, member: 39419"] Riri & Jen, Sounds like we all have the same concerns. Which is good in a sense. I'm from Leigh, not far from Warrington Jen and also work for a large company as a project manager. Stress does effect my levels but the pump so far is giving me a better fasting blood sugar. Since carb counting though I've managed to stop my daily packet of biscuits to nibble on based in 3 injections of 13 units a day. This is from the old style diabetes of 3 injections and one basal a day. I look back in horror at having to snack every hour. My concerns are also around keytones, my blood sugars started to rise the other night to about 16 and the insulin I'd taken hadn't seemed to have worked, this was after changing a set, then it suddenly started to drop and I hypo's. Stupidly I changed the set due to pain at 9pm and so had to wait up until I was comfortable with my levels and that the pump was working. I have learnt my lesson and will only change them in the mornings from here on in. I'm testing out the pump up in Glenshee skiing on Friday for a long weekend break. Fingers crossed! Hope you're both ok. Leebee [/QUOTE]
