[QUOTE="Picci, post: 1463465, member: 12512"] Hi Mushy pea, I am experiencing exactly the same. Sadly my consultant said there has been little research in this area. Like you, mid month I start getting unexplained highs, which I have to be very 'heavy handed' with. This continues until my period arrives, then I have to dramatically reduce my insulin for approximately a week. My month is split into three. Days 1 - 7 I'm highly sensitive and reduce background and bolus. Days 2 - 14 I start becoming resistant and begin increasing (on a daily basis) both background and bolus. Days 14 - until bleeding I anticipate being very resistant and increase my background and bolus ratios by 25%. It's such a pain. I'm currently on MDI but I've got funding for my first pump and I was hoping it would be easier to control with a pump. I'm confident to start increasing my insulin by day 14 regardless of my results, most of the time it's the right decision and results remain within target. Hope that makes sense! I'm not good with using the correct terminology. Christine Type1 for 38years. MDI but stating pump therapy soon! [/QUOTE]
