Pooh, I love your honesty. And if you are like most of us on DF, reading about others successes/failures helps us all. The good and the bad.

While I think it's wonderful you are already on the pump, I don't think moving to an OmniPod will answer all your problems. Nor will the CGMS, but it may help track your eating and med pattern.

I feel you really need to get down to the basics of carb counting and insulin dosing. With numbers continually averaging high, something is very wrong.

I'm on MDI and must do the exact same thing that pumpers do...test often and administer a bolus for every carb I eat. If I'm not accurate, then my numbers are off. Same with a pump.

A pump is only a tool to administer insulin. It's not the end of the process.

If you don't mind me asking...who is coaching you on insulin ratios? We all make decisions daily to change our dose...are you making any changes or sticking with an amount that was prescribed early on?

Good luck and keep us posted!
