[QUOTE="weeezer, post: 379692, member: 41342"] Hope someone can relate to this... I've been on a pump since August, and since fiddling around in the first few weeks & doing lots of adjustments, settled into a regime that worked for me. I don't really change the basal rates unless I notice a pattern and then I only tweak by 0.05u per hour. I had a period of illness for a couple of weeks where half of my readings were double figures, but was too nervous to change basal rate in case I was suddenly better and ended up hypo, so my numbers only improved when my health did. Feel silly that I didnt adjust, but it scared me! I relied on correction boluses to keep me on track. Pretty stupid really. Now the opposite is occurring, I've had a few days where hypo's are happening quite a lot (every evening and dotted randomly thru day), but am worried about changing my settings, should I just do a temporary reduction?? Or seeing as I seem to be surfing low bg should I just reduce the hourly basal rates a tiny bit? Have lost a stone & half at slimming world since jan, but I think this week is going to see a gain due to all the hypo feeding that's going on! :( Sent from the [url=http://www.diabetes.co.uk/app/?utm_source=sig&utm_medium=txt&utm_campaign=appsig]Diabetes Forum App[/url] [/QUOTE]
