Being without my Treo has really brought home to me that there is control and there is control.<\/p>\n
I’ve been guestimating and as a result my blood sugar has been higher than I like. Several times after meals, I’ve had to adjust — and guestimate again, and those fractions of a unit make a huge difference.<\/p>\n
That is the difference between MDI and the pump. it’s not just the basal rate though that is part of it.<\/p>\n
It’s being able to eat a meal and put in 1.8 units of insulin and having a blood sugar of 140 2 hours later. If I have to put in 1.5 I’m 180 or higher, and if I have to put in 2.0 then I’m risking going low before my next meal.<\/p>\n
The basal has a lot to do with it too. Trickling in rapid insulin all day in micodoses has got to be better than relying on buffered insulin. I know it is for me.<\/p>\n
Though I do sense that control is easier for a Type 2 as more of our encron. system is working.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
