[QUOTE="purleypete, post: 174155, member: 29722"] Jen, I've been on the Medtronic Veo since October last year and I get my first HbA1C results tomorrow (here's hoping!). The first few weeks were rather stressful and in hindsight there were a few things I had done differently. This first thing that I found was try not to do set changes when you are pushed for time, like trying to get out the door to get the train to work. It eventually becomes second nature but while you are still getting used to it, you don't need any additional stress during set changes. I also wish I had taken control a bit earlier. My DSN was good but could be hard to get hold of. My first couple of weeks I had a few times where my BG was all over the place but then I did some research on the internet and got the book Pumping Insulin and started doing fasting tests to get basals sorted out fine tuning the carb ratios etc for the boluses. My average day now averages about 6 - 7 but there are still the odd days when things are harder to control without reason, but the highs on those might be 10 - 12. With the Veo, you can also do the CGM which I have self-funded a few times and this has provided a lot of insight into what happens overnight and post meal. Good luck. Peter [/QUOTE]
