[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 2271145, member: 53162"] Hello [USER=281086]@pumper1969[/USER] Ideally it would help to know more about your activity around the time of this, so food eaten, exercise ? How long your set had been in place ? If your dealing with an unexplained high so no recent food intake/exercise event or set change, then i'd check the following, check your infusion site for lumps/leaks/bleeding, look for air in the set or if it had come loose, if all ok then replace both the set and use fresh insulin. To manage highs do you keep a novorapid pen in the fridge for back up ? It's the easiest and quickest way to bring down a high reading particularly when your in the twenties, also check for ketones, with a lack of insulin in the system becoming unwell with DKA can happen very quickly, as a pumper myself we have to take extra care to manage our highs compared to those on MDI. Check your sites carefully as Marie has said scarring can cause absorption issues so insulin will pool under the skin so rotating sites is key. [/QUOTE]
