[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2398330, member: 365308"] I am trying to do the same thing for the same reasons! I am now on a pump and this has helped me tweak my basal as it is programmed on an hourly rate. I think chasing down highs with novorapid is always gong to leave you behind the curve or over correcting so IMO the basal rate is the way to go bearing in mind you will need more if you're ill, stressed or tired. Don't forget that if your body is used to rollercoasters holding steady at 8-12 is a great improvement. Your results so far do sound excellent but from your comments you are expecting even better. Re dosing at mealtimes are you dosing for protein? I do about half a dose for protein at the time of my meal. If you are eating plenty of fat then this should help prevent any spiking. Are you doing weights/interval training to prompt a spike? But yes some days it feels like my liver is just pumping out glucose at what seems to be random times! I adopted this way of eating in order to make my life easier because I don't want to count carbs and do want smoother blood sugars. I do feel that it is working but I still have to put the work in to keep on top of it as with all things type 1 diabetic. It s not as though we all get our doses perfect and that's it for life! I hope you're enjoying interacting with the Dafne course mates and will get to try your pump soon anyway. [/QUOTE]
