| I had very good control prior to going on the pump back in mid-December, but the reason for that was because I was on NPH & 70/30 and had to watch every bit of food I placed into my mouth. I was constantly hungry and at times, very moody.
At first I was very frustrated with my new pump. My blood sugars were running a bit higher than what I was used to and I wasn't liking that one bit. It took a good 6-8 weeks of "tweaking" basal rates, insulin to carb ratios, and insulin sensitivity to finally get it right. I am now LOVING my pump!
I am less moody, have the freedom to eat when and if I want to, and changing one site every 3 days beats taking 2-3 shots a day!
