[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1338314, member: 32394"] A pump isn't going to magically reduce your levels, you still have to use the same basic skills to manage blood sugar that you should be using on mdi. These include:- [LIST=1] [*]Ensuring your basal dose is right for you to keep levels flat without bolus or carbs; [*]Carb counting and adjusting your dose to match carbs, ensuring your insulin to carb ratio works for you. [/LIST] So do you carb count? Are you confident adjusting your insulin dose? You would need to be to be considered for an insulin pump. [/QUOTE]
