I'm having problems with my "pump" team. I feel I've given them several chances. I've just had three months of carefully tested basal rates changed from 12 rates providing a rather curvey basal picture that I seem to need, back to 4 on the spot "because most diabetics don't need more", then suffering the worst hypos and swings in months and losing all the progress I have made. To "stick" with them, its an exhausting, fruitless prospect of a huge battle to try and "compromise" (I'd be happy to try 6 or 8) back into a more complex basal rate picture (which works much better for me but is much less convenient for the drs to tweak in their 10 second analyses). To stick with them is also to face the continuing attitude of being treated a borderline non compliant/problem patient in the process because I RESEARCH and make some very careful decisions for myself - with these problems and more, I can say that:

you need positive, progressive, responsive help that also empowers your relationship with your pump, whether educator or pump endo. Anything else is going to waste your time and cause you grief. You are obviously not a moron and you should not be treated like one nor have to battle blatant negativity either.

I agree if they have something you need consider sticking it out until you get it as sugested, but otherwise move on. Good luck with your quest. I'm off on it myself.
