Then I notice the transparent plastic on the cannula is filled up with drops of insulin. So it's not been going into me for a while, previously told by tandem it will be condensation not insulin, I now don't take that as an answer. It IS insulin. So I change cannula and site. Then there's time waiting for the blood sugars to come down. Positively aided by an injection too, but negatively aided because you don't know how much insulin is working on board, just very slowly... and of course the new understanding I now have that a new cannula means several hours before it's 'bedded in' I've heard it referred to. The time it takes than new cannula to have a positive impact on your blood sugars. Hadn't heard of it before I read it on here. Now I'm very aware of it. Don't know why it's a real thing.So **** blood sugars later yesterday and partially through the night. Today sugars good. Went out to the beach feeling very dizzy (3rd day of it) and nauseas all day. Struggling climbing cliff back up from beach then vomited a lot.Got home went to bed. Had some food and water and whilst I'd dismissed a ketone issue because I figured things were better today, I decided to test. Blood test ketones 0.1Urine test ketones very high!So could someone give me their insight into this and the cannula issue. Feeling a bit shook up</blockquote>
