[QUOTE="iHs, post: 306708, member: 8799"] I think its true to say that high bg levels above 12mmol usually require a lot more correction insulin than what the pump sometimes suggests. I try to rectify my levels when they are at 12mmol and then my pen does the trick but if much higher than 12mmol then I still use my pen but add about 0.5-1.00 more insulin and just tell the bolus wizard that Ive used my pen and then as time goes on and I test, the pump then tells me how much of my correction insulin is working against my bg levels that the pen is starting to lower...... The moon especially if it's a full one.... may well have an impact :lol: [/QUOTE]
