[QUOTE="rockape37, post: 1222190, member: 156959"] Tori, just to add to that my evening meal ratio was very high and was advised not to increase it and I needed a correction before I went to bed to bring it into target but as I've already mentioned the dreaded Dawn Phenomenon reared its ugly head. Also if you are not already aware there is a delivery option that can be used called Dual Wave, you can then deliver a % of your bolus straight away and the rest over a period of time. For example I have 50% of my bolus straight away followed by the other 50% over a period of 30 minuets. Apparently larger doses of insulin are harder to absorb by the body so effectively you could be giving yourself more insulin than you really need just to get enough in your system to do the job. The Dual Wave option I use has sorted this out and my Insulin/Carb Ratios have dropped, my basal has also dropped. So basically for me the pump has worked wonders and there is so much more that can be done with the pump that you just could not with MDI. Pump therapy is still new to me and I still have things to sort out but I'm taking everything step by step, the pump is making the future much brighter. Regards Martin [/QUOTE]
