I told her it was too long but she was adamant. I went hypo first night from it stacking up in my body.I definitely find 5 hours is better for me. It definitely corrects more precisely for me. I used to be impatient but I was initially told by my first consultant that I should be back to target level by 5 hours as well. This recent nurse said it was 4 hours for that as well.... Not so for me. I would actually be happy setting mine at 51/2hours and monitoring this further at the moment. Previously I thought my acting time was 3.5hoyrs but scrilutinising this detail for 4 weeks solid due to the amount of occlusions I'm getting I know 5 hours is the minimum for me.</blockquote>
