The Beginning

So I started my journey on the 20/10/2021. The first day was rough moving from MDI (Levemir and NovoRapid) to a pump with just NovoRapid.

The Reason I moved was due to;

  • Better / more control for exercise.
  • Better hypo control, due to being able to suspend the pump during a low
  • The idea of more freedom to eat a few more carbs
  • Looping. Letting the rig take care of some of the diabetic burden

So far it has not been an ideal journey, and its partly my fault. You need to dial in your setting and I have more than reluctant to fast in order to calculate basal rates. Cardio has been difficult and unpredictable and the whole process of having a pump attached 24 is something to get used to. Needless to say that after a little over three weeks my control has been worse than when I was on MDI, but I am slowly making progress.
