Never rains but it pours

Having an awfu weekend on the pump. Had a cannula that was working really well and after a tough day at work decided to have fish and chips. All seemed fine until just before bed when BG started creeping up to 12. Thought I'd misjudged slightly so put a correction through and temp basal on. Set alarm to check in just over an hour. BG had risen to 15. Another correction(still assuming it was the fish and chips) and alarm set for an hour. BG 19 and rising, felt sick' blurred vision etc so injected to bring BG down. Alarm set for an hour and BG had dropped slightly. Kept checking each hour and managed to get down to 12. Then BG started rising again so assumed set had failed early. Did a small injection to get me through till morning and changed set first thing. Pulled old set and painted my bathroom red with an unexpected gusher - the worst I've ever had!

New cannula was working but seemed sluggish and I put this down to night before and irregular insulin delivery. 30% basal and seemed ok. Felt ill all day and hardly ate but when I did bolus didn;t seem to have usual effect so guessed site was not such an effect one. BG seemed pretty stable by bed with temp basal on so went to sleep. Woken at about 3am by pump alarm. Occlusion. Primed and waited to see if it alarmed again. 40 minutes later it did and BG had risen to 12. Pulled set and fired new one in which brought BG back to normal slowly. Pulled old set and was kinked.

Now trying to bolus for breakfast and this set seems slow to respond. So tired and fed up and hate the cannulas right now. Why can't it just be one thing at a time?!?

Thank you all for the kind messages of support. This mornings set isn't working properly either and have just changed it again. Waiting for BG to drop but am also wondering if I have a dodgy batch as can't understand why they are all doing this.

iHs I now always use the pen to correct very high BG but I would find it hard to inject just at meals as I often find my BG quite variable (brittle diabetic) and can need to give extra/less for exactly the same meal each time. This is why they put me on the pump. Also I have needle phobia and have to use a penmate which only takes 8mm needles so does hurt. I really wish they would make a shorter penmate!

Just seem to be having a real run of pumper bad luck

Thanks Azure. I'm going to report to Animas tomorrow and luckily I have finished the box now. I had thought about trying 4mm needles but was under the impression they were just for children and very slim people. Years ago I tried them in my legs (which are very thin and have literally no fat) but I got lumps everywhere I injected so had to stop. I have some padding around my middle though, which is where I put my sets!

Just to add to my weekend issues I changed my libre sensor and that isn't tracking right at all so probably a faulty one. Things can only better now surely!!
