Overall, my control hasn&#8217;t been bad.  But I&#8217;ve been hitting a low every evening.  I&#8217;ve been tracking my TDD closely and it has dropped.  Those of you who pump understand that if your TDD drops, you have to adjust everything.<\/p>\n<p>I keep a spreadsheet of the 14 day average, which also calculates boluses based on the rule of 500 and corrections based on the rule of 1800.  I try to use those numberes as references, but adjust both boluses and corrections conservatively.<\/p>\n<p>However, I got so tired of being low, especially in the evening, this morning, I just broke down and moved all my corrections up to 40, hoping that will solve the problem &#8212; which is what my spreadsheet says they should be.  I also adjusted my non-regular boluses to 11 &#8212; again, what my spreadsheets says they should be, just in case.  I am still being conversative about my meal time boluses, only adjusting them according to my meter readings.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s what I do.  If I start seeing consistantly post pranial readings of under 130, I&#8217;ll up the carb ratio.  If I see post pranial reading over 150 consistantly, I drop the carb ratio.  And I always change just be one.<\/p>\n<p>I do the same thing on corrections, but they can be hard to see if I correct too close to a meal.  I&#8217;m hoping it will all balance out in a few days.  Like I said, it&#8217;s driving me nuts.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know if I&#8217;m losing weight, I kind of doubt it, since I&#8221;m having to eat to avoid treatable lows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Of course, it&#8217;s a short drive.
