Way to go Richard. It certainly does pay to do your homework in preparation of going on the pump. I am on the MM722+CGMS and have not had any problems at all. I did the same, I read, studied, read more, asked questions, read again and was more than ready to put my first infusion or sensor site in.
The CGMS allowed me to "see" that I had some DP issues. It saw from the graph when it started, how high it went, and I adjusted my basils accordingly. Have not had any DP problems since. I'm telling you, I love the CGMS. I had hypo unawarness problems and the trend feature and alarms have almost stopped that problem.
Keep doing what you're doing Richard and your health and body will thank you.
Good luck

Richard,
You do sound like a pro now. Great work. The numbers will start to stabilize more. I was all over when I started the pump in June. Now I stay for the most part within 30 points while fasting and am normally below 140 two hours after if not three hours. You are going to find that you have a lot more freedom (if you haven't figured that out yet).
