Good info...

Subby, thanks for the post. A lot of good info in there that I was looking for.

My activities (at least in recent years) seem to be revolving around my acting Lantus and left over Humalog insulin. I mean to say that during an all day event, my levels tend to go up/down without any real consistency. The mornings will be high, then low later, then high, etc. Some of my activities can be stressful (but that's part of why I like them), and that usually causes my BG to drop sharply.

Here's my big issue lately. Morning highs. It seems like lately my morning levels are high, even after it being @100 at 10:30pm. Then in the AM it's over 200. I've tried to adjust my nightly Lantus, but then I suffer with strange daytime lows for seemingly no reason. I am thinking that a 24hour basal would help me stay in line and not yo-yo so much.

My wife really wants the CGMS to help stop me from having a scary hypo during a night that she's out of town. We have a little one, so it's extremely important that nothing happens. I think inevitably I will go with the pump, but I just want to be aware of what I might be in for. According to Medtronic, they are issuing a free OneTouch Ultralink with all new MiniMed pumps, so that would afford me some finger time to get the pump sorted out. After that, I could get the CGMS and go from there - I guess.
