With the pump I have consciously been trying to keep my BG levels higher than I really want (6.0 to 7.0 (100-130)) and when I hit around 4.0 (72) or even 5.0 I correct that immediately to avoid falling close to a hypo level.  I have managed to maintain this for about a month, but I have not yet detected a change in my reaction to low BG levels. Should I be keeping my average BG even higher?<\/p>\n<p>This seems like a very challenging process and maybe I need to be more patient.
