[QUOTE="RobertJ, post: 2627010, member: 351599"] Thanks, [USER=53162]@Juicyj[/USER] and [USER=81557]@Nicola M[/USER]. Yes, I need to do more basal testing. It's hard work doing the fasting but I will do it. I know we're told 70% is good but even on pens I reached 95% for a couple of days this year. My norm is about 80% so I thought the pump would be an improvement. I see anything below 80% as cause for concern. I am just talking about 3.9-10mmol by the way. I am not going low as much as I did on pens, so that's definitely a good thing, but the pump has not been the transformation I was expecting. I guess the logical way forward is to ensure the basal rates are all correct as you say, [USER=81557]@Nicola M[/USER] . [/QUOTE]
