[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 2365352, member: 53162"] I think the worry comes from trusting medical devices that control your life so confidence does take time to build, but it's also an incredibly useful piece of kit that can start to take some of the stress out of your hands. When I first started on a pump I got a copy of John Walsh's 'Pumping Insulin' to help me manage it better, with the greatest respect to nurses, it was in my own hands to manage my pump and know more about achieving better control. It's the same with any tech, it's only as good as the user input so getting ratios and settings fine tuned means better control. My focus is now purely on 'time in range' as my guide to control, I don't stress about the daily highs and lows unless they are affecting my TIR, and then when my TIR is dropping I know I have to do some basal fasting checks to make sure my background ratios are right before looking at bolus ratios etc. [/QUOTE]
