[QUOTE="Cbmod, post: 1966080, member: 419891"] Last night my blood sugar would not come down and was extremely high. I was testing and injecting every half an hour to an hour. I changed my insulin site and insulin. I was monitoring ketones throughout, which went from 0.9 to 1.8 and then started reducing again at 1.5. Because the ketones were reducing, I carried on trying to bring my blood sugar down rather than seek help, as I knew at least some insulin was working. Essentially, I spent 5 hours with an extremely high blood sugar before it would come down at all. Would this one episode have caused me significant damage? Do I need to be extra vigilant on keeping very tight control for the next couple of days/weeks? The cause turned out to be bent tubing. I've been type 1 for 16 years, but have never been in this situation before- should I have acted differently? Thanks for any advice! [/QUOTE]
