[QUOTE="AlexandraMarnie89, post: 545665, member: 83596"] Hi, I went onto a pump on Tuesday. I work weekends and was told to do a temporary basal last night for today, reduced by 30%. I woke up with bg levels at 11.8 at 8am, did the reduction and a correction along wth my normal carb ratio. I did this until lunch time, when I was at 3.7 (12:25) but got it up to 6.1 before lunch (12:45). I'd already hypo'd twice before this, so reduced basal by a further 10%. I was lower than I should have been after (5.3 at 14:36) and knew I wouldn't make it to 5pm as it was, so was a bit naughty and had a millionaire bar and a banana (50g carbs in total) but injected half of the bolus amount suggested by the pump. By the time I got home (17:41) I was at 3.2 yet again! I just can't seem to get my levels up at all - had a big dinner at half 6 and now, not even 8pm I'm at 7.3 still with my basal reduced :/ any ideas what to do? Really don't think I can cope with another hypo tonight but really looks like that's where I'm heading :( as I'm new to pump my consultant has said that I can call him at any time, but I've already had to speak to him yesterday and Friday so I don't like to bother him again :( any advice would be appreciated!
