[QUOTE="Gyproc, post: 463067, member: 41612"] This is major problem for me i have been on pump 4yrs with constant highs and lows to the point when i feel i am going hypo i will be 14+ over these years i have driven myself crazy now at last consultant for first time last week said gosh you really have been doing everything i would have done i.e increasing for highs eating more for lows he then said wait on i feel your body is going into a kind of insulin shock what he meant was when you respond to a high with increased insulin it appears to scream out emergency too much insulin and instead of a steady decrease in bg it releases i.e rebounds releasing stored glucose from liver etc which then increases bg even higher and of course this leads to another high dose of insulin (merry go round of feeling ****)! He cut bolus/sensitivity settings as well as increasing insulin time from 4hrs to 6hrs in order to cut insulin amount and said i want to see you high all the time without hypo's to give your body time to recover. It has made a huge difference up to now but of course time will tell and getting settings right will not be easy because he said you are very insulin sensitive? I am will be really annoyed if i have spent 4+ yrs with no quality of life all because experts have stuck to the norm and not looked outside the box? Its the easy answer "the patient is cheating" [/QUOTE]
