[QUOTE="CarbsRok, post: 1044534, member: 14029"] Funny enough I was exactly the same except I didn't go above 10 very often, it got to the stage at one point where I was having 56 hypos a month................ diagnoses Addison's disease still had problems due to my basal not matching any insulin on the market. Changed to a pump and it used to be a case of chasing my tail every few days because the basal changed so often, then it changed to every 2 weeks when a change needed to be made then 6 weeks and now it's almost four months where just a very tiny tweak needs to be made. It worked out to be a sinus infection eating into my bones that's now fixed, the infection had made my autoimmune system attack some part of my spinal cord sheath causing an inflammatory lesion now its starting to resolve the improvement is massive. So for me it was a case of constant basal tweaking :( which was a royal pain in the you know what which kept me in range most of the time I also found not eating to much protein also helps no end as never could fathom the dosage or predictability of results. You have probably already done so but have you tried going right back to basics and setting a brand new basal profile and building from there? Many of us also found the book pumping insulin a great help as well. [/QUOTE]
