[QUOTE="Platinum, post: 463062, member: 91091"] Yep. I check them at least monthly and occasionally tweak them a little. My basal rates seem to be quite stable when things are working properly. The insulin not working thing can last from a few hours to four days. If it is going to be a long one, changing the cannula/set/insulin makes no difference. I have a second basal rate profile that is about 50% higher than my normal one that I switch to, plus I set the bolus advisor to add 20% to all boluses. Doing this plus my CGM means I muddle through. Don’t get me wrong, I would never want to give up the pump. When it works, my bloods are usually above 5 and less than 10 which is fine. The good bloods continue for a week or two then suddenly, when I have been lulled into a false sense of security, the high BM alarm on the CGM goes off and I start pumping in insulin that does not usually work and off we go again.
