Amy—make sure you give Chris a shot if he is that high, dont rely on the pump—with a shot you will know he is getting the insulin. You may have an air bubble or a kink in the infusion set that you are unaware of—you are risking ketoacidosis which is scary and can be deadly. I dont want to be overdramatic…but i went thru it when i was 7 years old…and it terrified my mom.
I am on a pump and anytime my BS is over 350 mg i take a shot for correction…just to make sure i get the amount i need. i generally change out my tubing and site at that time too…but i still dont depend on it for correction amounts.
Take care
