I did this many times when I used to inject and have made the mistake of putting in another 2 or 3 units and my blood suddenly dropping to 3 or below and not coming up to a safe level for hours! you'll be best monitoring bloods and correcting if it goes hyper because if it drops it's really...

Hopefully you'll get it sorted out... I love the pump It gives so much more freedom and better control as my bloods were always 2 (or below) :/ when injecting... so much better now :D good luck!

I have been in an insulin pump for 4 years and I can say that it is by no means any easier... if anything it's harder. If one thing such as basal or bolus dosages are incorrect then this will show in your BG results, I have recently had to readjust both my basal and bolus dosages as I started...

Thank you :) same I have had no problems, just wondered if an infection would cause a rise in BG levels?

Hi :) I have type 1 diabetes (for 17 years) and have gotten quite a few body piercings over the years from eyebrows, hips, neck and tragus. I am wondering if this is OK for a diabetic to do with good blood sugar control as my mum always freaks out when I get them saying 'you'll have to watch...

This usually happens to me when I have low blood sugars. I am on the insight insulin pump and I usually put in a correction and retest 2 hours later. If they are still high or have not changed I then put in another correction, if still no improvement I have to inject the insulin using a syringe...

Done [emoji106] hope it helps! :)

Thank you :) I will look into it when I return to Uni in January as I am now registered down there for doctors/ medications etc :)

I never thought of student services at University before :) I shall get in touch when I return thank you!

Thats a good idea, thank you very much

It is an option I guess... but I go to university at the other side of the country so visiting will be limited or not possible all the time. Maybe I should look for options else where :) Thank you! :)

Hi :) I am new to this and sorry if this is posted in the wrong place? I have had diabetes from the age of 2 and am now 19 (had type 1 diabetes for 17 years :O) and am on an insight insulin pump which I had to lose weight for... this is where my story begins... Anyway years ago I struggled...
