I have two questions, for you type 1 diabetics (hopefully those who've been through this disease a bit longer, but any input would help) What should I really do if my blood sugar drops? Sugary foods…Continue

Chris replied to Chris's discussion 'Questions about the Diabetes Pump'"Of course I bolused for the lunch, i've done so for all of my meals.
My blood sugar after lunch was in the mid 200's, varying between 240 and higher, with about a minute between each blood sugar checking (because I wanted to see if maybe…"
packrat replied to Chris's discussion 'Questions about the Diabetes Pump'"Like has been said, if pump is not working right use a syringe and get the BS down, and put in a new infusion set..."
Kelly WPA replied to Chris's discussion 'Questions about the Diabetes Pump'"I agree that changing the site is the first thing to do. Did you bolus for your lunch?

Gerri replied to Chris's discussion 'Questions about the Diabetes Pump'"If your pump isn't delivering & you're sure about the amount of insulin on-board (or that there's none on-board), give a correction by injection."
Kari replied to Chris's discussion 'Questions about the Diabetes Pump'"Your cannula may be kinked. Change your infusion site and see if that helps. If it doesn't, try using insulin from a different NEW bottle. If that doesn't work, call your endocrinologist to get further help. You don't want to slip…"

Hey guys, i'm really new to the diabetes pump so I had a question. What should I do if there's no more insulin pumping into me through my pump? Here's the details. I ate lunch at about 4:10 which by then there was already about 3.0 units worth of insulin pumping into me (a correction for a high blood sugar before lunch?) After about an hour or two I checked my blood sugar again and it was alarmingly high, I counted my grams of carbs right, and wrote down my correct blood sugar. Afterward, my…See More
