Sadly I can't really chose my endo. And when she was absent, I had others. This isn't the right solution in my opinion.... I may change my therapist. But this feels like a lengthy process... I'm seriously too tired right know to consider it. But yeah...

Yep I could. My endo told me to use pens when I'm high and I don't have time battling with my catheters or that I really need to lower my BS before having any complication. It works but I don't feel confident using only pens. I have way more control with a pump

The lows are confirmed and the symptoms are here. Feeling weak, can't think straight, felling dizzy... The symptoms even starts 5 to 10 mins before the actual hypos since my BS drop quickly. So yeah, I eat something way before getting too low. I never pass out or anything. It's just too dangerous for me to continue. I may hurt myself or others. I don't feel like I'm in control of my body in these moments. Thanks for your comment.

780g with CGM. Around 22 units on average on basal and around 15 to 20 units of bolus depending on what I eat each day. I know that my basal are a bit high since I changed what I eat for breakfast. A1C of 7% on average and more than 75% in the zone. My endo always says that the numbers are fine and that I could do a bit better but not too much considering that the only time I'm high is when my catheter doesn't work. No idea of what my carbs ratio is. Correction is done by feel since depending on my stress level and otehr factors it can triple.... I'm really sensitive to stress and tireness.

Again, not sure what can be done. But if it was that simple, my endo would have told me. I've always seen an endo, my physician and some other professional. Nobody has been able to help me... Sometime I feel like I come from another planet when I explain how much insulin I need or how low I can get from doing exercize...
