So today I have decided to post my documented set change in the hope that somebody might spot something to help.
At about 3pm I realsied my Inset was not functioning quite right. I knew I had to change it but have become nervous and anxious about any set change due to serious high levels each time. I phoned a friend and we discussed options. We decided to try another contact detach, as the needle shouldn't fail, and put my basal on 100% increase (so double my usual basal) to cover stress and any basal adjustment needed.
So hubby watched the whole change and supervised air bubbles. After doing change we noticed a single sausage bubble in end of tube. The early bolus I did and extra basal should have covered this.
Straight at set change 4pm BG was 8.5 Bolus 0.95 +100% basal begins
5.20pm BG 9.3 Bolus 2.5u to try and stem any further rise
6.30pm BG 12.1 Bolus 1.5U
Now running scared set not working. Not sure what to do. Set seems stuck down but one wing is raised - could this mean the needle is not in me far enough?
No air bubbles in sight in tubing.
Please help!!!!!!!
