It is very important to look at your blood glucose readings as feedback regarding your diabetes

management, not as statements about you or your self-worth. T

ry not to have an emotional reaction to the

numbers and do not judge them too harshly. You will soon learn how to modify the numbers easily and

precisely through insulin pump therapy. Test at least four to six times per day.

These are the recommended times to test to determine control:

• Overnight (occasionally, at approximately 2:00 a.m. - 3:00 a.m.)

• Pre-breakfast (fasting)

• Post-breakfast (approximately two hours after eating)

• Pre-lunch

• Post-lunch (approximately two hours after eating)

• Pre-dinner

• Post-dinner (approximately two hours after eating)

• Bedtime

• Before driving

Determining your pump settings

Your healthcare professional will use your daily blood glucose journal records to program your pump. It is

very important to keep good records during the first weeks after you start on pump therapy. Not only must

you record your blood glucose readings, but it will be important to eat regularly scheduled meals and to

keep your activity as consistent as possible.

Until you and your healthcare professional determine the pump settings that will work best for you, it is

important to eat meals for which it is easy to count the carbohydrates. After your correct basal rate is

determined, you will be able to experiment with varied food choices and amounts.

After you and your healthcare professional are satisfied with your initial pump settings, you may begin to

experiment with different food choices, meal times and exercise schedules.
