I have been aT1 diabetic for 40 years and last year was put on medotronic pump, recently I have been getting high BSs for no apparent reason so I take an extra bolus I do not play around with my basal amounts cos the hospital sets them, it still does not go down well very slowly, I have a libre sensor for monitoring, I change the site of my catheter so it is not that, any advice? Can antibiotics effect levels as I am on them for 5 days with a urine infection.

From what I understand being ill (I presume you must be as you are taking antibiotics) can cause raised BG levels. Make sure you are testing often (ketones too) and drink plenty of water :)
