| I pretty much am high most of the time--unless it drops way down like to 40--and I am serious, for no reason. It just bottoms out. I was thinking maybe the absorption is bad. I just don't know. I am going to start over with the basal testing--the endo only had me try once and never mentioned it again. I tried on my own a couple of times, but it would either go way up and I would bolus, or drop down. I know that means the basals aren't right, but just can't seem to get them. We change them every 3 days--only pick one at a time and they only want me to go .1 up or down at a time. I have been doing this since '92 (on pump for 3 years and went back to shots because A1C's had gotten up to 10.2. Shots for a few years, then got this Animas 2 years ago. Have been "tweaking it" as they call it since. My husband and I both figure the carbs and all--so there are 2 of us working on it. I tried changing the basal myself once when I was visiting in NJ and they got all hyper about it--"well we'll just have to start over now!" I would switch endo's again (I am on my 4th now), but there is none in our town that do the pump. I drive to Indiana now. Just don't know who to switch to. My GP's answer is just "you are just one of those people I guess". He said he has no problems except with me and one other lady.
I got diabetes when I was 48--straight to Type I and on insulin.
Maybe it is the absorption. Thanks for listening though. I will try the basal tests again. Last night I went to bed at about 190 though and at 3:00 am it was 340 something--can't remember exactly. That isn't right I know, but just don't know what to do. The girl who trained me on my first pump tried to help me (she is great and could have done it I think), but got into trouble with endo. and called and said she couldn't help anymore.
Thanks though. Will keep trying. Just think maybe I should take a break for a while--very frustrated.  |
