I'm part of the university's Dancesport society, which means I have lessons, and team practice for competitions. And of course, D always has to have its say on everything".</i><br /><br />__________<br />That's good to hear.

When I was writing up my thesis, I was also buying a flat at the time, and my diabetes control pretty much went on autopilot, and I did the best I could until I actually had the time to sit down and sort things out. I was so stressed at the time, and my routine was so all over the place that basal testing was all but impossible.<br /><br />What I found helped was that I still kept logs, and I used to try and see if I could spot any patterns, and then use temp basals to sort things out. There were a couple of points when I noticed that I was consistently high, and so I would do an increased temp basal over that period for a couple of days and then adjust my basals accordingly if it helped. It wasn't perfect, but it felt like I was at least doing something even if it was just rolling with the punches, and took some of the stress away, and I think it helped my numbers from getting *too* high.<br /><br />I hope things settle down soon! :)Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10108172963051450204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1737388966176276622.post-62036828203625751502011-02-28T08:30:50.302+00:002011-02-28T08:30:50.302+00:00you are only a couple of months into pumping, you ...you are only a couple of months into pumping, you CANNOT expect everything to go right and so quickly. I'm nearly 8 months in and STILL struggling, but work and other problems doesn't come into it. It's a matter of FINDING the time to deal with things. And if you don't take the bull by the horns and start playing with your basals now, then you never will.pancreasonmybelthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03561955811528283717noreply@blogger.com
