People that can't listen to other people's opinions.
People that can't say sorry.
With a pump (or mdi) you should be able to get normal levels within 5 hours.
To me the fact that this wasnt possible indicates that you may need a check list or something was missing. Did you go back to MDI after first correction didnt work?
You do not want to end up with dka from pump.... this to me is the concern here.
I had many trials of pumps and failures and never had levels of 4 with ketones.
I think you need to check out with Dsn and Accuchek that everything was done in correct order etc.
