[QUOTE="CarbsRok, post: 545970, member: 14029"] It sounds as if you have all of your long acting out of your system now, so nothing to interfere with basal going through on the pump. So you know where you are going hypo so reduce your insulin at least 2 hours before the hypos. Make sure you have plenty of quick acting carbs with you to treat any impending lows and give your dsn a ring for moral support and advice. As a general rule of thumb a basal increase of 0.05 will increase your blood sugar by 3mmol/l so use the reverse logic for the time being to bring your numbers up. You really need to start basal testing as well so once you have stopped the hypos you can get on with that and fine tune things. It wont happen overnight so try not to get so frustrated when you find Rome wasn't built in a day. :) [/QUOTE]
