[QUOTE="MarkMunday, post: 2276779, member: 525839"] To get good results you really need to figure out the basal rates and adjust them until your blood sugar stays in the target range in the absence of food. The same approach is required with MDI, except using different insulins and different dosages during the day may be necessary. Don't expect your team to do this for you. It works much better if you do it yourself. When deciding on whether you want to switch make sure you have explored all the MDI possibilities first. Your team are not close enough to the action. You really need to to do it yourself. I switched from pumping back to MDI because I didn't like having the pump attached. I have been able to achieve similar results with MDI, but only after combining Actrapid with Lantus to cover basal requirements. [/QUOTE]
