[QUOTE="RuthW, post: 841634, member: 148713"] You may need increases because you are new on your pump, aren't you? That means any long-acting insulin you were on has worked its way out of your system. But you should make changes slowly, not all at once. One factor at a time! Then give it two or three days. Then another factor. For example, you don't actually know that you "over-bolused" for the evening meal. It could have been that it was very fatty, or that you absorbed the carbs slowly for some other reason. That may explain the rise in the night, rather than a low basal rate. Take it slow and wait for the pattern to emerge. [/QUOTE]
