[QUOTE="Jollymon, post: 1926039, member: 480011"] The old school method from changing from a long acting insulin to a pump used to be we had to not inject the basal insulin 24 hours in advance. They used to like to start the pump’s basal rate right away. There’s a trend away from that- now they set the basal rate to 0 and let the new person do bolusing. Then when they should be doing a basal injection, then turn the basal rate on. So if they told you to stop long acting insulin, okay. But if they didn’t, that might not stop you from starting. Temp basal rate at 0% is the workaround. [/QUOTE]
