[QUOTE="MushyPeaBrain, post: 160305, member: 27914"] I thought I was getting the hang on this pump but last week and today things have taken a turn for the worse, possibly with my set. I did a set change Monday morning as for the following 3 days seems to battle much higher sugars. My bolus did bring sugars down but the extra bolus needed became very sore. When I removed the set the cannula was straight and no blood but my sugars suddenly got better and stayed better. Coincidence - who knows?!? Today I've done another set change and just before my sugars were 5.2. I used to wizard to raise then to my target of 7 as I intended to go to the gym. I also had a piece of victoria sponge cake for lunch but the carbs were on the box. Now my sugars are 21 :shock: Have given a correction dose to see what happens as set feels fine but I am losing confidence in the infusion sets and feel a bit scared :cry: Am I doing something wrong? I can certinly pinch an inch but could I be too near muscle? [/QUOTE]
