[QUOTE="iHs, post: 805558, member: 8799"] Often when people first start using a pump, the dsn will just start everyone off on the same basal rate for every hour, leaving it up to the person to test bg levels frequently to make sure that levels dont go low or really high which is ok during the day but not so ok in the night when going to bed. With this in mind, if you tend to eat some carb before bed to try to stop bg falling to hypo state, then do tell the dsn as then they should be able to adjust the basal down a bit as opposed to leaving it the same. The more info you can give, the better things will be when you get home and start playing with your new 'toy'. Eventually, you will be able to fine tune the pump settings to keep you ok and Roche are very good anyway so any problems, ring them up and someone will be able to sort you out. [/QUOTE]
