You'll be fine. I hope you have a good supply of test strips. |

| | | Good luck Sharon,
I'm sure you are going to do great. You will be a pro at it for when I take the big step.
Keep us updated and let us know how you get along.

| | | Don't be alarmed by a real high or a real low just learn from it and adjust. It will take a few days to get your ratios down pat. My first week was a little rough but after that it was all good. Good luck and keep testing.

| | | Good luck with it; I'm sure you'll be fine as you seem to have a very good understanding of what your body needs as regards insulin.
I'll be very interested in how you get on; it's an idea I've toyed with exploring but shy away at present.

| | | Good luck, Sharon.
I am keenly reading postings related to this because I am also trying to get a pump & CGMS. So I am right behind you.
