Yes u can have different setting, but u must be very careful. Is there anyway you can sit with your doc or CDE?

Hey, welcome back  .
Sorry to hear that you were having a tough time... hope things have settled down by now.
As for your blood sugar... there could be a lot of things effecting it. If you are under stress, that would be my bet. But then there's the end of the honeymoon, as you mentioned, and other factors to consider as well.
It definitely sounds like your rates need some adjustment at night. It could be that your carb to insulin ratio at dinner needs to be fine tuned a bit... or even, possibly, your nighttime basal. How long have you been having this problem? If it's been for more than a few days, I would give your doc a call  and ask for some assistance.
Wish I could help you with changing your bolus type, but I am clueless about pumps other than MM's. I'm sure someone here w. a cozmo will post soon, thogh 
Hang in there!

Your pump is probably just fine, but sets can be problematic, but that doesn't explain why only your post dinner numbers are high. ratios usually are lower in the morning (when expressed as carbs-to-insulin).
Have you discussed this with your doc? |

Use the bolus wizard than up it a little when you get to the confirm screen. I'm hoping the different ratios based on time of day will be an update soon, and have written smith's requesting it. |

I also really want different bg targets for different times of day, but right now the carb ratio thing is more important. |

Mind you, this was info from a rep who may or may not been given true information. I tend not to totally trust sales reps, but we shall see.
