I Have been using the accu-chek pump since tuesday and things are not improving. Going high during the night and waking up high. This morning was the first time I changed the cartridge and cannula. Then my bs was 8.4 before lunch (3 ryvita and an apple) had 4units, continued to tidy up the garden and two hours later my bs is 24! Also finding that the cannula doesnt stick very well and had to change it daily, even when using transpore tape. The first two days on the pump was great but now I am reduced to tears and feel like I might have been too optimistic, obviously I am going wrong somewhere. My basal rates are 0.4u from 7am to midnight the 0.45u from midnight to 7am, my carb ration is 1-10g with my evening meal ratio being 1u-9g. Any suggestion for a seriously stressed and worried pump user!
