Having been diabetic for 30 years , my hba1c results have always been roughly between 10 and 12 (not good) always been put down to having brittle diabetes . Went on dafne in June and put on pump in september and just look at the difference im totally amazed as my diabetic nurse said it looks like the pumps what i needed all along

I meant tweaking, sorry........


So you suffered DP, how did you establish your basal rate overnight, hourly tests? At what time do you need to up the delivery rate......

Yep hourly testing had to up rates between 11ish and 2 ish, still tweaking not perfect yet by any means

Well I suppose it can never be perfect as our needs change by the hour, all depends on what hormones and what levels of hormones are washing around at the time......

By the sounds of it though, your hitting the nail square on the head............
