Message: <blockquote data-quote="StewM" data-source="post: 2512798" data-attributes="member: 538114">I wonder if anyone had experienced something with a set change issue. What’s happened. About 48 hours into my last Pod, my blood sugar started climbing as if my Basal needs spiked. I hadn’t ate in over 6 hours and saw a sharp spike, promptly corrected and went back to sleep. Two hours later, woke up covered in sweat. Checked my Libre. You could see the correction working but the minute the Bolus tailed off my Blood Sugar spiked sharply again, to even higher than the previous level. Corrected again, three hours later same story. When I get up for breakfast. My blood sugar’s below the previous peak but still high. I take breakfast with a small correction to.I have to run a few errands, and use a reduced basal approximately 20mins into the walk my Blood Sugar drops in almost a straight line. I take some Dextrose and everything’s fine until Dinner.Post-Dinner my Blood Sugar is stable for about three hours, but rising ever so slightly. Once my Dinner Bolus runs it’s course. Sharp spike again. I take a correction an hour later my blood sugar’s gone up another 5mmol/l. At this point I switchPods (probably should’ve done this earlier in hindsight). I take another correction*. An hour later my Blood Sugar’s risen again. Take another correction and finally my blood sugar’s coming down proportionate to my Bolus on Board.Three hours later my Libre Alarm goes off. I’m mildly below target, think nothing off it. Switch the alarm off temporarily. 1 hour later I’m 2.9Since then I’ve been incredibly sensitive insulin needing way less than normal and reverse corrections aren’t stopping the drop at all. Crazy as it sounds. It looks like some of the Insulin that went missing yesterday is only being absorbed now. Leading up to this I’d had two weeks of extremely stable control so I’m fairly confident all my ratios are where they should be.Things that confuse me is if it’s a Pod issue, why was it seemingly only effecting the Basal at first. If it’s not a Pod issue, why did I suddenly become hyper sensitive issue when I switched Pods? Absorption seems to be an issue but I’ve never had anything like this from an overused site before? And again if Absorption was the issue why was it only effecting Basal initially?*Btw I didn’t play fast and loose with these corrections just went the Bolus Calculator’s recommendations.</blockquote>
