T1.5 and may go to pump.

[Tin Ben Dur]

I was just diagnosed about two months ago. I take 12 units levemir and one metformin in the morning. But I have been told buy one of my diabetes team that I may have to take more insulin before ever meal. So that would mean one levy in the morning and three more during the day of probably novalog. I may just pursue the pump. My appointment is at the end of may. But my fasting BG this morning was only 99. But the metformin is destroying my stomach.:eek:

Do the 4 shots a day method for awhile. Learn to base your novolog dose on your carbs and bg. See how that goes, then consider pumping.

Welcome to the forums Tin. Pumping insulin is a whole new ballgame, but well worth the effort if you understand the process.

I have been pumping for six years and actually am still tweaking and learning. Do your research and perhaps demo a few pumps so you understand the process.

Good luck!!
