The main solution came with a change to Humilog insulin, which has a very short (2 hr) lifetime, and does not build up in your system. Thus, the basal stuff acts more in real time, and does not accumulate and cause low BG's. Also, the change to Humilog also resulted in a drop of about one full point in A1c readings. Since switching to Humilog about a year ago, I have not had one serious low.... David CL Ferver wrote: I have been using the pump (Minimed 507) for 10 years, and had many problems
