Group 7-day waking average?

I agree with Phil, a Sunday night dose should be out of your system by now. Have the DSNs told you how to do phased basal tests? Are you due to go to them any time soon?

No but they mentioned that I'd need to do them at some point

I'm going back to see them next week but my DSN is going to get in touch before then to see how I'm getting on so I'll mentioned when I speak to her
 
Not sure what's going on but 4.4 this morning; 4.3 on Monday and 4.3 on Sunday...🙂

Does that mean I'm cured...🙄

Ooh! Don't tempt fate with the 'cure' word! 😱 I would say that you have your diabetes under very good control 🙂 Are you finding things relatively straightforward these days? Happy with your diet etc.?

Its very much up and down in terms of diet; I'm maintaining my weight and very good with my food but I have days when I really crave just 'pigging' out..😱
 
Good morning all....eye drops worn off and I can see now. :D anyway it's an 8.3 for me.
 
Good morning everyone a very nice 4.1 for me today:D

Yep, a few basal tests once your system has settled down and got used to the pump should help iron out any problems.

I'd reommend getting this book too:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Pumping-Insulin-ebook/dp/B009NNKZKA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1363161732&sr=8-1

(that's the kindle edition but I'd recommend getting a hardback copy)

It's helped exlain the really complicated things to me very easily (which my DSNs could never do). Now I have a better understanding of why things occur I feel more confident that I can manage things myself and actually make changes that I know work.

OH! and 4.8 for me this morning 🙂
 
Nice one Newtothis!

8.5 last night, so decided to have 1 unit adjustment as just out of target range. 6.1 this am 🙂
 
Lovely morning. 6.2 and back to work at last now transport sorted. Bit of a shock to the system 🙂

I might drop my DSN an email later to let her know how I'm getting and see when i can start the basal tests

Went to bed at 1.15am this morning at 13.5...didnt know whether to correct before bed or not??
