Hello,
so today is my first day with an accu check combo pump (with insulin in it) and over the last three hours my bg has been on a gradual rise - even though I have been delivering bolus and fasting (except for lots of water).
I had dinner of gammon, cauliflower and new potatoes at about 6 and haven't eaten anything since - at dinner my levels were 6.2, I gave the bolus the pump advised. then at 7.30 my levels rose to 12.6, I gave the advised 1.3u bolus and tested again at 9pm when my levels had gone up 13.8, another bolus of 1.4 and at 10.15 my levels are 14.1.
I really don't know what to do about this...I have given another bolus of 2u at 10.15 and intend on testing again, but this seems an unstoppable rise :-/
I am looking for some advice/reassurance/anything really!
