Well my levels are high because I haven't been feeling great mentally recently and it's kinda been rough, and I haven't been taking care of it enough and now because I haven't exactly been taking care of it, I'm just even more annoyed and stressed. It's kind of my own fault to be honest though.have you an infection or cold etc these can trigger high blood sugar levels ?
Having diabetes and feeling burnt out is never your own fault!Well my levels are high because I haven't been feeling great mentally recently and it's kinda been rough, and I haven't been taking care of it enough and now because I haven't exactly been taking care of it, I'm just even more annoyed and stressed.

You've taken the first step by posting on a diabetes forum for help. We're slightly limited on what we can say (no specific dosing advice) but many folk here have been in your position and we can give you moral support and maybe some tips.What do I do?
I'm on the tandem too, but recently the cannula has been leaking a lot, and I think that's what's really irritated me. My time in range is only 54% and I was hoping for it to be higher but I'm not exactly sure how to manage it in other ways. (As in meal planning, exercise, ect) My dexcom has also been failing a lot recently too, but that might be because I have the G7?Diabetes is a full time illness and most people find it hard sometimes (I certainly do). That's not your fault and there should be no shame in admitting that you are having a difficult time.

Can I ask what pump you are using? (I'm on a tandem and while it automates a lot for me I still have to manually input my basal rates, which can change over time.)
Are you able to contact your pump clinic for advice? They will be very used to diabetics with burn out and should be able to help you with some of your issues. If you aren't confident to make pump adjustments yourself then they are your first port of call, though we can give you links to basal rate testing, if that helps.
