[QUOTE="iHs, post: 543831, member: 8799"] Sometimes when bg is really high, the correction factor can start to become ????. I usually, always correct a very high bg with my pen and do double the calculation, tell the pump what I have done and then wait for bg to lower which usually takes about 2hrs to start moving downwards to a level safe enough to bolus with pump for food again. There can be a few reasons for high bg levels but the most common one is basal rate not correct any longer which can anc does happen unfortunately even with bssal rate testing but usually, a pattern starts to happen if the problem is basal rates. If its a set problem then its a bit more difficult to know if its where the set is placed or if its the right length cannula. Just remember to keep bg testing to see if a pattern emerges. Also, if you change the settings, remember what's been changed and you'll be able to compare the new results with the old.
