Would you mind sharing what your endo says? I'm curious.

Tiera, like mentioned by the other members that basically means your dosage is off. We can't help you with that, you should see a doctor or go to an educational class to get you set on the right ratio.

Call me crazy, but I hate highs more than lows as I know the damage repeated highs are doing to my body. I was 38 the other day and just ate something to bring me back up. I no longer fear lows like I did before I got a pump. On MDI I had lows that hit so fast I'd call 911 and sometimes use glucagon. On MDI, I fully expected I'd die in bed from a severe low. Since starting on a pump in '96, I've not used any glucagon. I do...

OMG me too! I got the 722 and am kind of upset because I only take 40u a day at THE MOST, and the 522 is smaller, grrrhh!

I check for ketones to decide if I may have a problem with my insulin pump. So basically i check when I have a high that I can't explain. If I am 300 mg/dl because I ate a big piece of cake and gave insulin --> no ketones. If I am 300 mg/dl because my infusion site has a problem or I inserted into scar tissue ---> ketones. I also test when I am nauseated or feeling weak with a high. One day I woke up only moderately high...

I am looking forward to the replies from you and Kristin... lets see what the doctors have to say, eh? Funny what excites a long term Type 1 Diabetic :)

I just remembered another thing that I like about the pump. It remembers if and when I took a bolus. When I was on MDI I sometimes had to stop and think if I took my meal dose or not. That was back in the day when it was good practice to lead a meal by 30-45 minutes with Regular (fast acting but not rapid acting). When life gets busy it's sometimes easy to forget. The pump will also do all the arithmetic to calculate how much insulin on...

Definitely relate and fear of bad lows is one of the reasons I let myself run higher for a long time...I think for me it started in high school when D became overall unpredictable and I've had some bad episodes (starting in middle school/high school)...in part because my awareness has been so blunted (luckily for me less so overnight)...I was also really scared about living on my own or essentially on my own when I moved out for college...
