I did, but pumping basal treatment is a bit different. I feel for ya Tsukia. Those overnight settings are one of the hardest things we have to do.

I'm sure your DE told you, but one hour is not long enough to wait for Humalog to bring down BGs. It can take two to four hours, usually fourish. One thing that might really help you is pre-bolussing: take your insulin 30 minutes before you eat. It takes planning and there is risk involved, but it really helps my BGs.
