Matt7571 replied to Beth R.'s discussion 'High to low at night'"I agree as well, but at night, all that is occurring is basal rates, no bolus, therefore isf and bolus changes won't help... But basal changes will impact your bolus rates as well... They all go together but under true fasting through the…"
Natalia S. replied to Beth R.'s discussion 'High to low at night'"I definitely swear by basal testing! (or basal assessments). You really can't figure out the root of the problem until you eliminate extenuating factors. My CDE told me I really shouldn't make big changes to my basals without doing an…"
Matt7571 replied to Beth R.'s discussion 'High to low at night'"This is one of the benefits of being on a pump... Your daughters basal rates really need to be varied for the different times of the night.. So that she is getting more basal when her body needs it, and less when it doesn't.
I'm assuming…"
Mike Ratrie replied to Beth R.'s discussion 'High to low at night'"From your brief description, I would consider the following, but these are all shots in the dark (sorry for a bad pun):
- 3AM test.
- Basal rate testing to get the overnight basals more finely tuned. This will mean temporarily eliminating the snack.…"
Zoe replied to Beth R.'s discussion 'High to low at night'"Maybe not eat right before bed? It certainly adds to the variables!
Also, does she have different basal rates set for during the night to manage her different basal needs?"

My daughter has a problem with going high in the night but low in the morning. For example she was 181 before bed last night so we gave her a half snack of 8 carbs with protein with an extended bolus and she was 178 at 2:00am and 90 at 4:30am. So we had to give a snack to get her thru the night. Another example would be 103 at bedtime and with a snack of crackers with pb she went to 295 @1:52am and 78 in the morning...does anyone have a suggestion how to get thru the night without the highs and…See More
Beth R. replied to Judy P's discussion 'No insulin being delivered after pod change??' in the group Momnipods and Popnipods!"THANKYOU for all that information!

Beth R. replied to Mom 2 Kyle's discussion 'OmniPod Pros and Cons' in the group OmniPod Users"Just curious...do the new pods have the wonderful"bump protection" that makes them stop delivery if it gets bumped too hard? My 4 year old bumps hers hard too often...w have had quite allot of trouble...replacing so many!!!"
Beth R. replied to Beth R.'s discussion 'Infusion site infection?' in the group OmniPod Users"hi Aimee! Sorry to hear about the rash...we do not use any of the above mentioned things to keep Camille's pods on. We have had more trouble with the pods staying connected to the adhesive! (I read somewhere about glueing the pod to the…"
aimeeh2oski replied to Beth R.'s discussion 'Infusion site infection?' in the group OmniPod Users"Have you tried EMLA cream? It's a prescription numbing cream that you rub in an hour before pod change. We used it for a couple of months, but now the insertion (without the cream) doesn't phase my daughter anymore."
aimeeh2oski replied to Beth R.'s discussion 'Infusion site infection?' in the group OmniPod Users"Hi Beth, My daughter is 4 and started on the pod last September (dx 2/13/12). We primarily put the pods on the back of her arms and upper, outer thighs. We tried it on her tummy a few times, but she got an infection once and we haven't put it…"
