How much do you pump?
I'm a T1 with a Medtronic Paradigm. I use the Bolus Wizard and don't think much about how I'm taking.
Once in a while, I check my totals:
Main Menu > Utilities > Daily Totals
My lowest daily total was 40u. My highest was 85u. Monthly avg. was about 55. The numbers surprise me.
I am curious. How much do others pump?

I use the Medtronic Paradigm as well. Average for me is 50 units per day but usually goes anywhere from 38 to 68 units, depending on what I'm eating. I've been diabetic for 50 years.

It always feels good to hear from someone healthy that's been diabetic longer than I have. Are your A1C's etc. good?

Yes. Latest was last month at 5.7 My control has only been great in the last 30 years though. We do the best we can right? That doesn't mean that I don't struggle like most though.

Good for you. Recently, I'm hovering around 8. Yeah, It can be tough. We've been taking about the same amount of Insulin, but it sounds like you've been doing a lot of other things right.

Read your previous posts. Very interesting. I've had some bad pumping experiences, but trying to stick it out. How many units do you take a day, now? (if you don't mind me asking)
