I've been in the 6.6-6.8 range for a long time. Then, my a1c 6 months ago was 7.1. I started exercising more and eating better and managed to get back to 6.7 3 months ago. Just got my most recent a1c and it was 7.2 (though my other labs were better this time around). I've set a basal pattern in my pump that's roughly 10% above what my normal basal pattern is and will be using that for a while to see how things react. I'm also going to manually add 10% to what the bolus wizard suggests. this is what I was doing the last time I modified my settings. I did the alternate basal pattern and manually added a percentage to the bolus for around 3-6 months before committing the changes to the pump itself just to make sure I wasn't going low too frequently with it. I should probably be seeing an endo instead of managing my settings myself, but I'm always that guy who wants to handle everything on his own.
Probably the biggest thing I need to do is stop drinking so much.
