High blood sugars

The insulin pump will still only deliver insulin, if that doesn't work now, the pump is not a magic fix. Can you give us any idea of your diet ? Maybe your ratio's need adjusting, do you carb count ?

OK, thanks. Do you test after each meal or before ? Are your levels high all the time or certain times ? Cereal for breakfast can be a reason, also, your sandwich for lunch ( bread ) may cause spikes. Apologies for all the questions but difficult to advise someone with nothing to go on lol !

You could try reducing the amount of carbs you eat & see the effect that has on your blood sugar results. Even if you just reduce then a bit some people find it has a positive impact.

It might be worth looking in the low carb forum for ideas of things you could have instead of bread and cereal. I know some low carbers still eat bread but they have found some bread doesn't cause as many spikes in their sugar levels . Afraid I can't tell you which bread or cereals would be best as I don't eat them .

Have you checked your basal rates? Just wondering as if you're high most of he time it might suggest that this needs increasing.

What pump are you on? I'm on Medtronic... I know in Medtronic you can alter your basal settings. Perhaps you need to do that?
