[QUOTE="ElyDave, post: 707098, member: 74042"] Have you carried out any basal testing yourself to make sure your basal rates are set correctly? This involves breaking the day down into segments of 8 hours or so. You need to have had no carbs or bolus within the last 5 hours or so and start with BG in yout target range. You then need to fast for that period, and test BG typically every 2 hours with test strips or using CGM. If teh BG remains stable (no rise or fall by mor ethan 1.7mmol/l) then your basal rate is good. I'm doing this myself at the moment as I've got a new pump. So breakfast today was early at 05:15, basal testing will start at 11am, every two hours until 7pm during which I'll fast, no caffiene either (which is the harder part) If you find significnat rise or fall you need to adjust the basal rate approx 2 hours before you noticed the rise/fall. Two books explain this very well, Pumping Insulin by John Walsh and Think Like A pancreas by Gary Scheiner Hope that helps [/QUOTE]
