[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 2084080, member: 53162"] Hello [USER=504428]@Tiia[/USER] and welcome to the forum. Good news about the pump. Out of interest how often are you going low ? Pump choice is dependent on CCG, so in some areas we have little or no choice, I had no choice, but as I was struggling on injections any pump at the time would of been amazing, so I was more than happy to get approval and to start using the 640g. I have to admit it's been a great pump despite a few faulty pumps, I can adjust my bolus ratios throughout the day, as well as basal, and reduce basal for exercise. It's not a magic wand and requires constant input, I have to tell my pump what I'm eating so input carb values as well as corrections. Please remember that ratios can change, it's understanding when and being on the ball to adjust when appropriate and the pump does require ongoing monitoring to ensure basal and bolus ratios are working as they should too. Get a copy of pumping insulin which is perfect for understanding control using a pump. [/QUOTE]
