[QUOTE="azure, post: 895933, member: 39639"] I can't give specific advice to you because we're all different and you know your sugars and you body. For correction doses, I personally find that the higher the sugar the longer they take to,work. So if I had done a correction dose, I'd wait two hours and if my sugars went down, even a bit, I'd keep testing and hope they'd be falling more. I think of it as like pushing a broken down car - once you get it rolling it becomes easier. Sometimes I would then need to have an extra small correction dose if my sugars got stuck at a high amount. I am cautious in dosing and would rather go gradually. When my sugars are high (say 13 and above) I always use my pen for corrections. That way I trust it. I continue to correct with my pen until I'm back in control. I also sometimes use a temp basal rate on my pump (hoping its working ok) with an increase of 100%. When I change a set, I still correct with the pen and then monitor very closely. A sugar of 20 would worry me. My highs are usually below that. Better safe than sorry. Even if you correct, I'd call someone. Bearing in mind it's the weekend, it'll probably be easier to speak to someone now than tomorrow. Edited to add that if I'd eaten I'd wait 90 mins or two hours before correcting to see how my sugars were. [/QUOTE]
