[QUOTE="NinaB73, post: 1433987, member: 170820"] [USER=39639]@azure[/USER] I thought I remembered that you didn't use analogue insulin, but how hard was that to achieve? and get past the professionals. I've found it hard on MDI not to have rapid acting insulin. Like I say my nurse is very one tracked, this pump, this insulin! but my consultant is different, but he's not the one setting it up! I did try all the canulas for that pump and they were all the same but I did suspect that although my abdomen was the best place to inject it wasn't necessarily the right place for a canula. I didn't really realise there was other sites I could try, in my naivety I didn't even question trying it somewhere else.As for the hypos in the morning, I'm not really sure what that was about! I think my rate upped to deal with DP from about 5am (I am casting my memory back!) and I am most active in the morning and do quite a lot of physically active work and dog walking, all I remember is having to turn the pump off much to my nurses horror! but I went down to the lowest rate and still hypo's all morning!! I just felt in the end that I knew where I was with MDI and I didn't with the pump. My gut feeling is take a gamble with another health authority, just to get the support. I may quiz you at a later date [USER=39639]@azure[/USER] if you don't mind x [/QUOTE]
