everryones differnt but i would not be comtefortable with correcting at 8 epsailly not a bedtime I consider that a good number to go to bed on. but everyone's differentn;t of course. a change of cartilage today seemed to make things work more then experidene even though i might not do a proper background test tonight i might try and see if my usual 4 does keep.
that's the thing i wasn't releclent i tried to stick to it before i came to inclusion it just didn't work with me(I've since found out that other people had the same problem)
i know people diagages with this but i do honstlly think a pump is worth trying epsailly with my lack of life routine life style and the jobs unpricatbness
i'm aware the pump takes a lot of work but i honsllty. the big problem with the libre wasn't the accurrances.(although that still wasn't great sometimes) it was the fact they never stayed working. i;m fully aware of the pump. i give the libre serval changes before i give it up compellty so i would b more liky to push through it. if they did turn out to be other tech aviallbe at the end of this month. at this time of the month I'm usually am running high but that might of settled now. i'm trying to figure out the even jump that's going on. i think you and i have didn't idea of whats much to high. and as you would think waking up at 8 high and then. looks like part of the problem with last night coretions not torching it. was/@rayray119 you had one incident when you tested and were a bit low.... I think it was Mid-high 3s if I remember rightly and didn't realise until you tested for your bolus but then felt it quite quickly after you tested. I don't think that really constitutes a loss of hypo awareness. It may well just have been a case of your levels dropping very slowly so your body didn't feel it and perhaps you were out in the cold or engrossed in doing something and didn't pick up on it as soon as you might ordinarily do.
If I am right I don't think that is anything to worry about as regards loss of hypo awareness. Sometimes I can feel a hypo coming on in the mid to low 4s and sometimes I am down to mid to low 3s. The important thing is that I do feel it, even if it just happens to be after I have tested or scanned. That doesn't mean that I have lost hypo awareness, just that sometimes I spot it earlier than other times.
Your waking readings have been a bit high recently and may well have been high most of the night from things you have said on the "waking average" thread. I don't know if that is what @Proud to be erratic was referring to about your levels being high. If you were using Libre you might find your % TIR has dropped a bit since going back to finger pricking but I understand your lack of confidence in Libre and reluctance to use it again.
I do agree with Roland that a pump will involve a lot of adjustment and from what I read, even very experienced Type 1s have problems with getting them set up in the first few months and figuring out the best setting for them and often seem to have hypos during this period.
I do wonder if your attitude towards Libre might indicate how you would also respond to a pump in those early days and perhaps not want to push through those difficulties. It is a 4 year commitment and a big investment by the NHS and if you are reluctant to stick at the Libre and figure out a way to make it work for you, then you can understand their reluctance to put you forward for a pump at this time. I think that may be why they want you to go back to the Libre so show some perseverance because you will need that if/when you start on a piump.
