Unicornzzz: Can your husband share the ultimate settings?

Comment by CAMAJohn on November 14, 2012 at 4:24am

I received the message prior to uploading data from my pump. Then when I tried to upload nothing happened, would not upload. Separate message said my settings needed to change to Win 7 and IE 9 instead of Chrome. (note those where my previous settings.)

My husband just upgraded his computer to Windows 8. He wanted to upgrade my computer but I would not let him because of my pump. He played with the settings on his computer and was able to upload the information from the pump and create a report for my doctor. He just wanted to prove to me that he could do it. (He works on computers for a hobby.) It did take some time before he got the settings correct.

My computer is still Windows 7 until MM fixes their issue.

News flash folks! Windrows 8 conflicts w/CareLink software. Note was using w/Windows 7 pro and updated to 8 pro, talked to support and they are working on the issue.

Possibly a few more carbs at bedtime might help. Do you eat the same thing every night? Could also be whatever your nighttime reading is and how soon you take your shot and maybe the infusion site?? There could be anything and any combination. Good luck!!! lol : )

Here is a fun question for you. I've been trying to "fix" my night time readings for a few months. I've tried adjusting my nighttime basal a million times and I have gotten it to the point where most days of the week I have perfect or near perfect blood sugars, BUT there is a few nights a week, where for no reason I will crash in the wee hours of the morning. If i adjust the basal for 2 hours before the low, I wake up with a high (9-11mmol) most mornings of the week. Can't find a pattern with eating, "times of the month" or anything else. It's very unpredictable, and very irritating, and my doc seems to think that my A1c is awesome 6.4%, too awesome it could go up a bit, and says I should just deal with the highs in the morning to avoid lows. Obviously I disagree with both and want to get rid of this problem. 10pm 1.2u 12am 1.25 2am 0.9u 6am 1.7u. The lows strike between 4 and 6am, or not at all. HELP
