[QUOTE="smc4761, post: 2511429, member: 119069"] Thanks for taking the time to reply, really appreciated I spoke with the DSN a few weeks ago and she thought as I would be in the water a fair bit of the time, maybe I should come off the pump, but she was very supportive and helpful I go on holiday next Saturday and started MDI last Sunday. But what a shock to my system, despite taking 20 % more basal and increasing Bolus slightly my BG are all over the place. Instead of being in Target on my Libre about 90/95% of time I am down to 70% in target. Yesterday was a really strange day. I took my split dose of Levemir as normal at 08.15 and took, 14 units of Novo Rapid as my BG was at 9.2 when waking. I checked BG at 9am and it was 11.2, by 9.30 it had gone to 11.6. I had not yet eaten any breakfast!!!!!!!!!!!. By 10.15 still not eaten anything and it started to drop slightly to 9.9. A few more checks and it was dropping slightly. But by 11.30, still had no breakfast and it had only dropped to 8.7. So over 3 hours later, a larger dose of Novo Rapid than normal, no carbs at all and my BG has stayed pretty much level. Very strange. I will keep it going on MDI for a few more days, but if my BG continue to be high, I may just take pump after all [/QUOTE]
