[QUOTE="Helen46, post: 2195664, member: 516974"] I get this in the last 6-8 hours before I change the infusion set. Dr's advice was that the site deteriorates to some degree. Options are to change it more frequently or just increase the basal/correction doses etc. BUT as I also take additional time for the new infusion set to bed in I prefer to cope with the extra need for insulin prior to changing set. In effect I get really good readings for about two days and the rest of the time I am making adjustments but not changing my basal rates over that time. It's a never ending story... At least there is now some acknowledgement that this happens. When I first complained it was insinuated that it was operator error and I must have been inserting then incorrectly. Now generally accepted. [/QUOTE]
