[QUOTE="kegstore, post: 107487, member: 16530"] Paul Sorry to hear of the problems you're having, especially with those retinal bleeds. What does your opthalmologist say and how's your blood pressure? Some sources suggest that in patients who have some degree of nephropathy and/or retinopathy, blood pressure control is a more significant factor than blood sugar control in maintaining microvascular condition, although clearly they're both important. Eyes very often take much longer than other elements to settle down following a change in regime. Certainly did with me, I was still getting the occasional bleed 3 years after moving to pump therapy, but haven't had any now in over 2 years. I had a Spirit pump for 2 years before switching to the Paradigm, and used to get occlusions all the time. Haven't had a single one since the switch. Are you sure of your insulin/carb ratios? In the morning mine are nearly double when compared to the evening (1:8 vs 1:14). Took me ages to work out. Other than what Jo's already suggested I can't think of anything else. [/QUOTE]
