I know it's not the topic you started, but if I were you, I'd look into getting onto a seperate basal (long-lasting) insulin and bolus (fast-acting) insulin, and get on a new regimen based on those--I think your results will be better than you are getting now.

Pre pump days I was also on that mix ****. And it was **** trying to keep my sugars under control. Once I was off the mix I have not had more better control of my numbers. Now I never did the long acting/fast acting combo, I went from mix to pump. As duck stated before I also had to learn to carb count when I went off the mix. Good luch and have fun at Disney. It has been 25 years for me.
