[QUOTE="hellobear007, post: 2595149, member: 42951"] Hi Del How did you find the pump break? I am seriously considering the same but wondering what my diabetes team will think. I don't want to stop the pump completely. I just need to go back to basics for a while without all the added factors to consider ( is it a bad site, is the cannula kinked, is there air in the reservoir or tubing etc...) I also run high after set change... I don't know why, even temp basal or extra bolus does not work... its like water. I do wonder if the anticipation of the new site 'not working ' is causing the high from stress. I have been pumping for 9 years and it's only since a very bad episode last summer with a kinked cannula that I have struggled so much. Having a really tough time figuring out what is going on. The leaky reservoirs have been the last straw. I reverted to MDI today while I await Medtronic to get back to me with a fresh pump or whatever they are going to do ( shocked that they never bothered to ring me back when I informed them I couldn't bring my sugars under control with the pump and I had ketones too... and no word from my diabetes clinic either... I really do feel stranded apart from forums like this. I actually found the bolus shots with my pen worked much better than in has with the pump in a long while! So it's either an issue with the pump & it's causing lack of insulin through leaky reservoir or it is something I am doing... I just wish someone would tell me. I would even like to go back and re train on the pump and start totally from scratch. I am willing to basal test etc while on MDI to make that possible. I have many other health issues which I have to factor in along with PTSD and anxiety and I am so burnt out with constantly thinking about my pump. It really does feel like a 24/7 thing right now. In my 25 years as a diabetic I have never been so anxious over it. I was awake until 4am with it last night yet again. Good luck with starting back on your pump! [/QUOTE]
