I am on a insulin pump and have been for 4 years. All of a auto am having very high level in the morning even tho I having eaten they r going off in to the high 20s and low 30s I feel like know one is listening to me!! Help!!!
 
It might be a paradoxical high... what are your sugars like during the night?
It may be the case that you are going low during the night and as a reaction to that, your liver is dumping glucose (generally referred to as the "Dawn Phenomenon" or a "Somogyi Rebound" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_Somogyi_rebound).
 
my immediate concern would be is the pump operating correctly and fully and are your basal rates correct

are you getting bloods back down with corrections ?

i am due to go on a pump soon and have been doing a lot of reading.

going to tag some pumpers i know of for their help too

Simple solution is to do some basal testing :) Then adjust your basal rate accordingly. Your body isn't a machine and things do change.
You don't mention what your blood sugars are like for the rest of the day! What happens when you correct the high numbers?
 
Second what CarbsRok has said if this is an on-going issue, do some basal testing starting from when you go to bed and test your bg 2 hourly, if your bg starts to climb throughout the night adjust your basal rate 2 hours before the change, if in doubt ask for your DSN's guidance.
