[QUOTE="Julian_Hands, post: 1436361, member: 324327"] Ive just kept the cupboards stocked with Lucozade during my first week as I started to get a few lows during the first couple of days, my Total Daily Dosage has now reduced by more than 20% and nearly 30%, just keep doing the checks and react immediately to the trends. I set my Insight Pump to provide a reminder every 2 hours during the evenings in order to check the Basal rates overnight, thankfully I didn't have to many concerns but have tweaked a little to suit. I also have done quite a lot of analysis on my Carb Ratio and Insulin Sensitivity, which Ive also had to reduce on the pump from the MDI settings I had worked with. The Bolus for me was key and I also now want to start looking more into Extended Boluses based on the trends I'm getting. As many people will say on the forum, carb counting is crucial and the better understanding you have with the carbs then the easier the pump will be. [/QUOTE]
