Hi just need some advice I have had my pump for nearly 2 month and so far all ok.today I changed my set at 13:30 today and since then my levels are just going up and all have eaten is a yogurt which I took bolus for. I have had 10 units since then at various times up to now and still my level is at 15.2 I am hungry and don't want to eat anything till I no my levels will go down.
But not to sure what to do
 
I would put myself on a temporary basal for a while just to try and bring BSs down a bit. On saying that, I read a post this week where BSs were increasing all day and it was all down to a bent cannula so maybe your first option would be to change it now. Remember to check for ketones as well and if your blood sugars are still on the increase later I would apply sick day rules and correct with a pen just in case you have a bug or something.
 
When you say you changed your set did that mean cartridge, tubing and cannula? If so make sure you filled/primed the tubing as it has been known for peeps to forget? If you have done this then change your cannula as this is more than likely the problem. Also check your pump is def switched on.
