[QUOTE="EllieM, post: 2509561, member: 372717"] Hi [USER=45091]@DannyH[/USER] and I'm sorry you haven't been able to get more help for your T1. I'm not personally a pump user (I middle along with MDI and a dexcom and when my numbers aren't where I want them one day, I try to improve them the next, with varying degrees of success) so not going to comment on the pros and cons of your team giving you one. But as [USER=420515]@Seacrow[/USER] says, the first thing to address on a basal/bolus regime is the basal, levemir on your case. Once that is right you should be able to calculate correction dose ratios and carb ratios. Have your team been helping you with this? With levels of 20 I imagine that you are feeling pretty ill all the time aside from any diabetic issues such as eyesight. I sympathise with you on the fact that insulin doesn't always seem to act the same way. An issue for me is that some of my injection sites are better than others (probably wasn't as careful as I should have been in my youth) so if I inject in a less good spot... It's incredibly easy (for me anyway) to overuse a spot. Please don't give up. As seacrow already said, we'll help you if we can, and if we can't we can at least listen and attempt to provide some moral support. I work on the principle that it's never too late to improve your diabetic levels. (I've certainly had some sky high ones in my 52 years of T1.) [/QUOTE]
