anyone ever seem to run a little high with a certain area of infusion site, my sugars were great, then changed site, ran high for 2 days, changed it and all good again, still kinda new, been pumping since January 2009, are some areas better than others
i get that too. one site will give me perfect numbers…then the next will take some time to adjust. when i get a good site i dread the change day, b/c i dont want the good numbers to end! i’ve only been pumping since july 08…so i’m sure someone else has tons more experience with this! =)
Lynn - are you having your period right now? I find my BG’s go wacky during that time - as hormones are all crazy. I haven’t checked your profile yet - so not sure what age you are. I know with me - when my BG’s tend to go abit high - I now am trying to be more “with it” - with knowing when my period starts - and when I notice my BG’s going up - then I increase my basal rate temporarily.
no, not yet, I always run high the day before I get my period, then once I get it , thing level off, I changed my set, and sugars got better, I guess it was a bad area, thanks
Yep, I have a spot on my stomach that I feel just doesn’t get good absorbtion. I sometimes forget and then I have unexplained highs. Only then do I realize that it’s the site. Once I change it, it’s better. I, too, dread site changes when my #'s are good. And don’t even get me started on the hormone thing!!!
So, you are not alone!!
yep, had one on the back of my leg, great numbers the first 2 days the I woke up at 181this morning and could not get bellow that till 3PM when I put in a site higher up, now I just hit 78.
