| It's been interesting so far. I think my next step is to set a pattern for my basal as the flat rate is causing some odd numbers. Also, I checked my BS 4 hours after lunch and I was 333!! That was the highest reading I've had since diagnosis. Well, I gave myself a 4 unit correction and checked 30 minutes later....125...uh oh. I rechecked on a back up meter and got 127. I ate 35 g of carbs (should have had 60). Just an hour ago I was having sweats and weakness and I knew I was hypo. Checked and I was an all time low of 31. I drank a whole can of Coke which brought me to 169 in 30 minutes.
I'm just going to pretend like today never happened it was so wild. I learned a hard lesson today. I'm pretty sure that 333 was a bad test as I really don't think I would have dropped 200 points in 30 minutes with a 4 unit correction. The wicked hypo I just had further backs up the thought that the 333 was a bad test. From now on I will always double test when I get an odd number with no symptoms.
As to setting a pattern I'm sure I will get tips from my trainer. I'm curious to hear what you guys and gals do for a general purpose basal pattern. The flat rate I'm on is causing lows. Also, I'm getting spike at the 2 hour mark after eating. This is unusual as on MDI I was usually in the 130s. 4 hours after eating I am near my target of 115 on the pump. It's only been a day and I can see this is like starting all over again. |
