insulin pump

well I have just started on the accu-chek insulin pump and it has settled my BG to near normal throughout the day and night,although it is early days and I may have some levimir hanging around. there are no "spikes" the after care is exellent so fingers crossed.

Me too. Had it a week and a half. Takes a bit of getting used to. Trying to find the most comfy ways to sleep.

How quickly did you establish your basal requirements......................

i use the white band in bed and try to keep still although my partner says im an octopus lol, the basel rate was worked out using some fancy theory,my nightly bg are normal just had to tweak my daytime rate and am now using multiwave input.

Ooo multiwave input sounds exciting! Still tweaking basal rate.

White band thing was ok but pump kept falling forward. Black 'round the head" thing was better but put it across body so as not to strangle my self. Most comfy was on belt clip attachedto pj's but it sweated next to skin and I thought pump had leaked. Plus got loads of bubbles in tubing but think that might have been coincidence. Am thinking that a clip on fabric covered belt clip might work but not sure if they exist.

have you tried just leaving it in the bed as they are quite robust,im impressed with it so far and how my bg levels are near normal after three years of high level spikes. fingers crossed for us both. its god to talk

Think I'd get out of bed and find it trailing behind me if it wasn't attached!

Blood sugars showing improvement but not sorted yet. The highs seem to have moved to different times of the day. Am sure will get there though.
