[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 1751794, member: 17713"] Hi there I went back to MDI after my skin and body reacted badly to cannulas. Its been a long up and down journey. I have really bad levels going skyward quickly from 3.30am right up to midday. Initially tried all insulins and doses and regimes suggested by consultants. My routine now is... 3.30am insulatard injection. Waking another insulatard injection and a bolus before I can put my feet to the floor. Plus I have to have a small tresiba injection at 4pm. So for me, I have to have 2 different basals to cope and a bolus just to get background levels tamed down lower....plus food ones of course. Because I have genuine difficulties and illness beyond T1 then I do have a funded Cgm. This has been essential... no way could I explain all my occurences of why certain regimes the consultants/educators suggested were so wrong. I fear that for yourself that if you have fallen in to lazy/bad routines on a pump then you may be the same going back to MDI to be honest. Yes, I do like MDI more than the problems with pumps and my body... but I am now 3 years since coming off pump and although my hba1c is still good, and I am within the top 5% of patientsat my hospital, I still get frustrated from MDI. You can only know what is right for you... if you feel MDI is better then make sure you let your care team know as well... although my health care team couldnt suggest anything to help me... we are the experts and it is us that has to manage it on a daily basis. You will need to sort out the best insulins for you as there are different ones available now than 9 years ago. [/QUOTE]
