I will repeat myself, when removing the blue plastic funnel from the needle you must rotate until it is fully releasing and falling off into your hand. Next, notify your trainer and inform them about the high BG before making any changes to your pump. Not sure, but it may take up to a week plus before the pump learns your bodies requirements for insulin, so it may be still in the evaluating stage. I would personally be adding bolus to bring the BG levels down as I use a scale of 3U per 5.5mmol/L which has evolved over my many decades of insulin injections. Now, I will add carbs to my pump when you have excess BG readings then read how much insulin has been selected, if the units needed are less than required use the back arrow and modify the carbs until you have the selected the correct solution.You will get a handle on your bolus thru trial and error, over time by using the CGM to show the response to the injection. keep track of the response, writing down the amount entered and your BG drops while also monitoring the times. By monitoring the active time while the insulin is dropping your BS, you can then modify your active insulin times on your pump to match up with your body. This is why I say it is up to you, the person with diabetes to control your treatment.</blockquote>
