Pump Download (Data up to Feb 6 2017)

This is not actually the most recent download I've done.  I've done one with data up to Dec 29th, January 5th, January 17th, then this last one.  So I guess I can give the summaries for all of them, rather than just this most recent one...

December 29th Quick View Summary: 

My glucose was in range (between 4.0 mmol/L and 8.0 mmol/L) 35% of the time.  That's down from the 55% during the previous download.  High blood sugars were also back up (55% compared to 39% last time).  Lows also went up a bit (they're at 11%).  The average glucose level  9.0 mmol/L. The high was 18.7 mmol/L, and the low was 2.8.  My bolus was 52% of the insulin I took, basal 48%.   There were 95 glucose readings taken during this two week period. 
*Note these were my glucose readings during a 2.5 week trip. Also there were no sensors during this two week stretch.

January 5th Quick View Summary:

My glucose was in range (between 4.0 mmol/L and 8.0 mmol/L) 35% of the time.  High blood sugars were even worse at 60% of the time.  Lows went down to 5% of the time.  The average glucose level  9.1 mmol/L. The high was 27.0 mmol/L, and the low was 2.8.  My bolus was 50% of the insulin I took, basal 50%. There were 107 glucose readings during this two week period.
*The day of the 27 I was high for no reason.  Changed tubing and site and corrected by syringe to bring it down.

January 17th Quick View Summary:

 My glucose was in range (between 4.0 mmol/L and 8.0 mmol/L) 51% of the time.  High blood sugars were 46% of the time.  Lows went down to 3% of the time.  The average glucose level  9.0 mmol/L. The high was 18.8 mmol/L, and the low was 2.7.  My bolus was 50% of the insulin I took, basal 50%. There were 116 glucose readings during this two week period.

February 6th Quick View Summary

 My glucose was in range (between 4.0 mmol/L and 8.0 mmol/L) 34% of the time.  High blood sugars were 55% of the time.  Lows were 11% of the time.  The average glucose level  8.9 mmol/L. The high was 19.8 mmol/L, and the low was 3.0.  My bolus was 51% of the insulin I took, basal 49%. There were 103 glucose readings during this two week period.
*There were no sensors during this two week stretch

My depressing take away from looking at these back to back is that overall I seem to do better when running sensors. :(

Also I do glucose a heck of a lot (if you were to do glucose 4 times a day, over a two-week period you would have 56 readings. I do close to double that in most cases).  It's no wonder my fingers have been getting sore lately!

This is interesting: even though my pump today has waaaay more basal changes than I had programmed in 2015 (currently 18 now compared to 6 in 2015), the amount of insulin I'm getting during the day is almost exactly the same (I get 0.25 units more today than I got back then)! How weird is that???
