you don't mention if you have eaten at all ??

if your fast acting insulin is not lowering your blood sugar by correcting
have you changed insulin cartridge ?
is it being stored in too warm conditions ?

also -- are you suffering with a cold or an infection ?
this can substantially increase insulin requirements.

i would get in touch with your diabetes care team today for for some assistance.

all the best !

Also are you doing an air test shot to be sure the pen is working?

Sounds like a failed pen or the insulin has gone bad.
