[QUOTE="jopar, post: 158102, member: 11712"] Different clinics have a slight different protocol to setting the pump basal up.. But they will use the last couple of days off TDD of insulin, crunch it through there formula, which is roughly looking at 50% basal and 50% basal, then they will either look at your data and try to make an informed guess to a good starting point, or just split the dose evenly over the 24 hours.. It will take a day or so for the old background insulin to truely filter out the body and not have an effect on BG, which can alter data slightly being collected.. It can be a rocky road to get up and running, but don't be put off it is well worth it all... [/QUOTE]
