[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1248333, member: 32394"] Sorry, your going to have to give it a bit of context - this thread is over a month old & I can't remember what I had for breakfast yesterday! Do you mean how you set your basal rates on a pump when you move from MDI to pump? Do you have a date to start your pump? When you start your DSN will help you set up initial basal rates, and then you can adjust as and when necessary until you get a basal rate that works for you. For the initial set up, your MDI basal dose will be taken into account, but it is more likely the maths for the basal rate on the pump will be based upon your total daily dose of insulin pre pump - they will do something along the lines of TDD less 20% / 2 = total basal per day /24 = hourly basal. Then you will have to test out how that initial basal rate actually works for you and adjust accordingly. I would recommend getting a copy of the book "pumping insulin". [/QUOTE]
