[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 825329, member: 17713"] As a rule with a pump if your levels rise uncontrollably high and your first correction doesn't work to bring your levels down then it is likely to be a pump failure of some sort, ie you didn't fill the cannula ir it is in a bad site, or a blockage of some sort. However, as you have just been set up then it is more likely to be your basal rates etc.. Even your correction factor may be wrong. So initially it is hard to tell and a little unwise to be honest to have started off with your pump without back up of a nurse to phone etc...however what is done is done. Have you been given training how much you should change things by? Or was that going to be done Monday? [/QUOTE]
