[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1281380, member: 32394"] If you're not eating, you just don't tell the pump to bolus you. It will continue to deliver your basal insulin (just like you would continue to have your lantus/levemir in your system) but the job of your basal insulin is to keep your blood sugar steady in the absence of food or unusual activity. So provided basal rates were set correctly being stuck up a tree shouldn't cause an issue in a pump. Being on a pump doesn't automate your diabetes management, you remain in charge of the pump and have to tell it what to do. [/QUOTE]
