| First day on pump
Today is my first 24 hours with the Minimed Paradigm. i slept good last night,it was not at all as uncomfortable as I may have thought. I am sure everyone who has experienced the switchover to a pump had problems in the beginning, at least I have. My basal is not correct and I have gone low about 4 times today. I eat dinner and now I am up over 250. I think once I get "callibrated" correctly it will be more satisfying. Has anyone else had anything similar?
Befor I could just do a certain amount of insulin with the MDI and "eyeball" it, and usually come out with good control (last A1c ~ 6.6. Now I have to have my ratios down to a tea. Until then it is a little turbulent. Any insight?
P.S. Dont get me wrong I think this pump will be phenomenal once I accept it as a part of me. I just wanted to see if I was alone on this one.
