[QUOTE="Sugar pie, post: 145450, member: 6152"] I have been on the accu-chek pump for nearly 4weeks and am gaining weight at an alarming rate. I'm not eating any more than I was before and my total daily intake of insulin is the same amount if not sometimes, than when I was on MDI. I'm 5ft 3 and now weight 9st (usual weight 8st 3). My daily basal rate is 0.45u from 7am-12am and then from midnight to 7am its 0.75u, with my carb ratio being 1:10. Does this seem alot of insulin? I hate the weight issue so much that I'm wondering whether this pump was a good idea, its making me feel so miserable and depresseed that I am now considering going back to the slimming club. Adding to my misery my DN has been away for 2weeks so havent had much support on what to do. Any advice would be great. :( [/QUOTE]
