[QUOTE="iHs, post: 590171, member: 8799"] Michelle Is it no wonder that you are struggling like you are......but as you have a pump anyway and do a fair amount of bg tests, have you done any basal rate testing lately for 6hrs at a time without eating any food that would csuse yr bg to rise, and then altered the settings according to the bg results which need to be done every hour and also adjusted the carb ratio? Ive got to alter the morning basal myself as Ive had 2 days in a row where my bg is going up even with all this baking hot weather. Also, your correction ISF factor might need adjusting at different times of the day. Cant remember if you use Novorapid or Humalog or Apidra but some find that changing to another insulin enables better bg levels to be achieved. There is also CGM which is gaining in popularity and would help you avoid the bad lows and bad highs. Does sound to me as though yr basal rates possibly need adjusting and yr correction factor and yr csrb ratio. [/QUOTE]
