[QUOTE="ElenaP, post: 2391899, member: 67557"] I wonder if you could email your hospital diabetes nurses with the question in your last sentence? They may be able to re-assure you. I also use a pump, Accu-Chek Insight. I increased the ratios on the pump but I am using an insulin pen for corrections. I have kept using the pump, but for me a pen works quicker for corrections. Like you, sometimes, I split my corrections (with a pen) to two or three smaller amounts in different parts of the by abdomen. I always have an insulin pen handy, and I have been following the sick-day-rules advice from the diabetes nurses. I was concerned how much more insulin my body needed, but kept increasing the amount of insulin because that was what my body required. There were ten weeks between my first and second AstraZeneca vaccinations and I was very concerned (and scared) how I felt. Previously I posted about the bad side effects and extra insulin requirements after the first jab, and about the lesser problem after the second one. Just over a week after my second jab I was able to return to the ratios that I had used prior to the first jab. I hope you can contact the hospital diabetes nurses. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
