Have you tried putting your pump on sleep mode? This is a bit of a stepping stone as it is technically on basal iq, it will only try to bring your sugars down by increasing your basal rate which I find suits me better. I don't want it to give me a correction bolus if I am about to start some physical exercise and if I'm not then I just add a basal correlation myself. Also I take most of my blouses on an extended/split bolus so it doesn't hit hard and fast.
Lyumjev isn't licenced for the t-slim that's why they would refuse it, my DSN is more proactive and has a few of us on it now - it's really down to your DSN to ok it. If you weren't switching back to MDI I would suggest you try a different approach with your team and ask to work closely with them, gain trust and build a good relationship suggesting regular contact and to trial it for a month, I contact mine via email which allows for a more proactive relationship as she can reply when free and i'm not chasing her down then. Good luck with whatever decision you decide but try to view this for the long game and not quick results now - MDI will help short term but to get your t1d on track it would help if you could bear with the pain now to get the algorithm working properly - your DSN was right to advise against battling control IQ, once it has a chance to learn patterns it will make life much easier for you.Hello Sninge,
Thank you ever so much for your reply.
The DSN didn't mention the sleep mode but has now suggested running the pump in activity mode for a few weeks to help me gain confidence with the Control IQ.
I have a Call with the DSN early next week and have decided to return to MDIs and my previous and preferred insulins as opposed to Novorapid which I just cannot work with. I had asked to switch to Lyumjev in the T-Slim but this was refused.
