Went live on Monday & can't seem to get a low reading apart from first thing on a morning.. seem to be correcting all the time??
 
Hi @Natbat87

What do you mean by low? How high are your highs?

You may find your basal rates need adjusting if no other likely factors - stress/hormones/food intake etc.
 
Can you try increasing your basal rates by 0.5 to see if I makes a difference? Are you feeling unwell? Like a cold/flu?
 
It could be the cold setting in but still, can't feel great running high.

I'm no expert but can relate with the Omnipod - give it a try and do lots of checking including the 2 hours after meals.

Hope you feel better soon :)

Get in touch with your pump DSN tomorrow as it's likely that your basal rates need adjusted.

Usually when you start on a pump the DSN/Consultant will start you on just the one basal rate, after a few days of using the pump and regular testing more basal rates will be introduced.
