[QUOTE="jopar, post: 107452, member: 11712"] I think that you really need to do some basal checks, to see if this is still correct, as they can alter a little bit ove time As to your breakfast readings I'm assuming that this is an odd readings and not daily occurance, I would look at several areas... Any stress after you've eaten your breakfast, different breakfast eaten I would also check whether there is any link to your fusion site as some areas can adsorb better than others.. As to the exercise, I know that it's a pain remebering to change profiles, I wonder whether for certain exercise you could use the TBR instead, setting it either before you start, or after to cover what the profile would do, then the alarm would let you know that it's finished.. Most pumps won't show an occlusion until it's missed 3 units of insulin, if I remember righty it's activated by pressure against the piston that set's the alarm off so the longer the tube the longer it takes to notice that theres a blockage, but I would double check where your infusion sets are placed as when I've had this happen to me on the odd occasion I can put it down to having my waist band of my jeans on top of the infusion set.. Another thing to check, if readings are higher than expected is Air bubbles, unfortunately the spirit pumps are a nightmare for them when filling up the cartridges, so I regularly check for these, and I always wear my pump with the lunar/tubing facing downwards so that it helps to keep air bubble from entering my tubing...
