That way you'll avoid reactions. I've been at it now 17 months without a controlled reaction. 8^) Hang in there, baby!! You'll get it. fp And don’t forget Bart, it won’t hurt to be a little on the high side till ya

And how much you bolus for meals. Some of us react differently than others. You may need different basal #s throughout the day, depending on your normal activity. So, even though it's a pain, keep going, it will get better, I promise. Joan:) Hi Bart:

It took over a month to get my setting right. The first couple of days we really out of wack with left over NPH on the first day and my body adjusting to the new therapy. Now I wouldn't go back. As someone here has said a few times, "They'd have to pry it out of my cold dead hands!". Hang in there. Peter ===== Peter <!--more--> Minimed 508 - DX 1972 - Pumping Since 5/30/2000 Hi Bart,

So neither will you on the pump. It just takes time to figure out what basals you need when. I know it is frustrating, but the only way to do that is to see a pattern in your BGs. So frequent testing and logging and hanging in there. It WILL be worth it and so are you. Gail Bart,
