For the past 4 weeks I have been experiencing continuous high blood sugars, as well as numerous (minimum of 6x a day) no delivery alarms, where normally my blood sugars are under good control. I use the paradigm minimed-2200, and I have called the company and troubleshooted the device multiple times, ordered new quick sets, reservoirs, changed my site, tried a new pump, changed my Novolog vial, and am still having continuously high blood sugars even after manual injections. After doing all of this, I feel that the problem is with the Novolog (I’ve only used 2 different vials, so I’m thinking it may have been a bad batch). I’m just curious to see if anybody has dealt with this? If so, was it a problem with the insulin? If not, can you tell me what you did to fix the problem?
Thanks.
The no delivery alarm muts be a pump issue, I dont see how that would be an issue with the insulin. Also if manual injections wont lower you, one of two things is likely
- The insulin has lost potency (heat and or time)
- Perhaps you have had an increase in your insulin needs and need to adjust basal and bolus
I would work on getting rid of the no delivery alarms first and minimed should help you with that, if not I would report to the FDA.
When you say hi - how hi is high?
