[QUOTE="tigger, post: 903608, member: 11023"] So I thought I was getting there with silhouettes until last night I took it out and it looked pink and raised around the site. I put another in close by and it wasn't so comfy. Overnight by bs rose (not hugely but more than they should have) which made me suspect that either: 1. It was an extended effect of fish and chips for supper (still rising 11 hours later seems a bit much) 2. The set was not delivering entirely efficiently 3. I have an infection 4. My basal rates have risen again. So to try and rule out some of these I put a new set in. Looking at the site now I am actually wondering if I've had some sort of reaction to the adhesive as the sites just look pink where the adhesive has been but not angry. Is that possible? I haven't had this before with any of the other sets or the earlier silhouettes I used. Or do I need to space them out more? Is there any barrier I can put underneath to try and rule out this possibility? Also if anyone has any other ideas on why my bs is running higher than it should, all will be gratefully received.
