[QUOTE="Janet_rabbit, post: 1606912, member: 293295"] Hi Levy, Again it could be me writing! I have very similar problems and often can't find anything to explain them, other than perhaps hormone changes or stress (which sometimes makes my sugars rise and sometimes brings them crashing down just to be awkward!) This has always been the case for me and I have always found control unpredictable - sometimes it is worse the harder I try to get everything just right and what is just right one day can be completely wrong the next. Some days it just wants to run high and I have that anxiety of pushing the basal up without being sure when it might suddenly decide to start working fully again and send me hypo. The pump has been a big help, especially with temporary basal rates, but has not fully sorted the problem. The good news is that my HBA1C is fine, even after 41 years of Type 1, so although it's far from ideal on a day-to-day basis, at least I've so far managed to avoid any negative long term effects. (One wee thing about the libre - I find it great and very useful most of the time, but unfortunately the first 2 days and last 2 days of wearing a sensor can give quite inaccurate results - I'm sure you're double-checking it already, but it's another thing to bear in mind.)
