Thanks, great advice, however I won't be following the finger stabbing every 2 hrs. I showed interest in the CGM, by the time I got home from the DE there was an email from Medtronic with an order (for me to pay), so I will only be doing 4 stabs a day. The DE said she thinks the basal rates can be stablised in a week or 2 with CGM.My tip re pumps is try to test bg levels every 2hrs during the night. This will help the pump dsn set up the basal rates correctly instead of just using the same amount of insulin for every hour.
Also, walk first with a pump and only run when confident with using the different ways of delivering a bolus.
Get plenty of bg teststrips prescribed ......about 250 and a good finger pricker.
Most pump problems have been discussed on the pump threads.

Good luck with the Medtronic sensors.
