[QUOTE="eabhamurphy, post: 1524491, member: 21358"] So I've not had any issues with. Have it on a HidIn body band just above my waist most of the time or clipped on to my waistband or sometimes I have it looped through into my pocket (depending on how I can alter the clothing) I'm sure it's upside down and all sorts of crazy ways throughout the 23hr40mins I wear it for each day! With regards to the trend and adjusting dose. In short, no there is no way for the pump to know that you are, for example, 5.5 but going downwards quickly. I personally find though that if I am going low a very small amount of carbs (8g) will level me out quickly. I don't have the same hard to treat hypo or hyper as before. If I do have a hypo it's generally because I've overestimated carb content or not temporarily reduced basal sufficiently for exercise and then the next time I adjust accordingly and can avoid more and more of these situations. You can have different basal rates for different types of days (work versus day off etc etc) and that's a feature I love. When I work I probably take 20k steps and am running around all day, then sometimes at home all day I need 20% more basal due to reduced activity. All things you learn about your requirements. What insulins are you currently using? Sent from my Pixel using [URL=http://r.tapatalk.com/byo?rid=67]Diabetes.co.uk Forum mobile app[/URL] [/QUOTE]
