Look who’s pumping
Hello Stephanie,
<Big Smile
It will take several weeks to get the basal rates “ideal”. It also sounds like they didn’t use the 3 day 24-7 monitor to get her body’s rate, correct?
How bout her pre pump testing????
The 3 day (at a clip) testing whereby she went completely off the long-term insulin, used only the short acting insulin, EXCEPT for the four hour window (every day for the 3-4 days) and took tests every hour during that window (sic every day). Once a good pattern was established, moved onto the next 4 hour slot until you had at least 3-4 days of pattern for every 4 hour time slot.
From that they figure out the basal rate/s….
Sometimes they micromanage and have LOTS of different rates during different times of the day, others a single rate.
Keep us posted
Jeff
