Hi

I am 31 years old & have been on pump for nearly 8 years
I have the Animas Vibe & take Humalog insulin.
Really struggling with highs lately, woke up this am to 13.9-corrected & had breakfast which bolused for, later in in an I was 7.9. Went for a long walk & could feel I was dropping- 2.6-took 4 lucozades, then had a coffee & toasted tea cake- which I bolused for. After about 30 mins did a bm & I was 7, hour later didn't feel good-22.9?!! So I've now changed my set & corrected
Basically though my numbers are highish on 1st waking & creep up in afternoon-I've looked at my basal rate & already altered it,just seems I am suddenly requiring more insulin. I am an active person & eat healthily really most of the time. Just really struggling with this at the mo, tbh felt knackered last wk as had been high every day

I posted yesterday about my son and three weeks of highs!!! Even the manufacture and our nurses are struggling to come up with solutions.
Next stage for us is looking to change ratios and basals. Good luck.
