Message: <blockquote data-quote="sprockette" data-source="post: 2462136" data-attributes="member: 550874">I have just started the 780g about 4 months ago and after a stressful rocky start, it is finally beginning to settle down. Mostly... to me, it seems very restrictive compared to the 670g which I had before. So far it seems like I could have perfect control as long as I keep to a strict routine, eat the same things every day and don't dare eat anything too high in carbs so else I go shooting up.I feel like it's only me having these problems with highs (to be fair, I am a self-confessed control freak, I am on this pump because I've been too tightly controlled for years and had some serious hypos). I have let go the control though as I know I have to to let the settle down. But I go up to 14-16 most days and this is eating normal low GI food. If I go out for dinner, I will go up to 20 which to me is not acceptable. I know I'm not on it that long.I am really really missing the temp basal for if you expect to go high. I have asked my contact at Medtronic if any changes are planned in that regard but she doesn't seem to want to answer. I am at my lowest weight ever because if I try to eat something extra, my blood is too high to eat it (I wouldn't eat something extra if my blood was up at 14).So. Is everyone else perfectly controlled or has anyone had these issues and found a way round them? For me, it's more the issues about lack of flexibility. /rant</blockquote>
