Another thought. Have you gone over your diet with a nurse practitioner or a dietician. I probably learned more about carbs from them than anyone. They will probably have you keep a food diary for a few days and see what is going on and make suggestions. Also, not that I always do this, but sometimes a snack midmorning and midafternoon helps to keep things in balance. Like I said before, I can't figure how people get theirs so balanced, we just keep plugging away and doing the best we can. Hang in there. Talk to your Dr. and definitely a dietician. The pump isn't so bad to wear, you eventually forget about it hanging there. It does not hurt to put the set in and you change that part every 3 days or so. I haven't had a lot of luck adjusting the basals and all and getting it set up can be complicated, but it does allow you more leaveway on when you have your meals, adjusting for exercising, sleeping later, stuff like that. People seem to like them.
