Well the N that I take at Bedtime controls the highs I would normally otherwise experience from 5-8...... If I miss this shot of 8-10 units of N at night, I would wake up with a Sugar ranging from 16-24 mmol/l.

The UltraLente serves as my 24 hour basal (only 6 units), so that no matter what I am doing with my meals, I always have a little bit of insulin for balance.....

You say this regime is weird? Can you guys recommend something better ? I took on this regime on my own.... sick of doctors that only hold me back in trying new things - like the pump.

BTW, I did not like the pump mainly because of the highly inconsistent absorption rates I would get depending on where I placed the infusion set. If it was in my leg, it was like I had no insulin going in at all.... it seemed that my abs were the only place I could get good absorption, but then I started the get sores at the sites. When I first went on it, it kept my sugars under super tight control, then it kinda drifted off from there.....

The H-tron plus pump is an excellent choice though.... very easy to use. I did it without the help from a doctor - or trainer, so that should say something.

keep those replies comin please!

thanks
