Well the pump I have only had in since early this afternoon but I have certainly noticed the difference.. my basal is at around 50% of what is was on Insulatard and I think I am going to have to drop it a little more than that.. so less insulin is always nice.. bolus wise just being able to properly control the release over a couple of hours rather than ****** about with multiple rapids is so nice.. I ate a relatively high carb meal for my dinner tonight.. and with 30% less insulin than I would normally inject I spiked to a massive 6.5 mmol/l @ +1 hour and was at 5.1 mmol/l @ +2.. 4.4 mmol/l @ +3.. that sort of meal would normally have seen a bigger spike and probably a 4 hour return to the mid to low 5's! on my MDI... and now I am going to have to spoil that and eat something before bed because I don't trust the basal level enough to go to bed in the 4s!
It's hard to explain but it all feels so much smother than injected insulin.. I am beyond impressed so far
I am self-funding the CGM which is going to be expensive so I might not do it long term (or not all the time long term) but I get that next Tuesday... so once I am hooked up on that I am going to be a happy bunny!
Those are good times! you are right to be proud of yourself!
