| Remember a few things...
1) Insulin has a delayed effect and has 3-5 hours before it is used up. Therefore, you would start running your numbers high immediately, but you really wouldn't notice the full effect until say 3 hours after you got back home and reconnected the pump.
2) You could have been running low to begin with and disconnecting the pump helped to not make you run to the floor.
3) What were you doing while you were gone? Walking, running, any form of excercise in the smallest amount? All of those can play a key factor too.
Now I will say congrats though. It is pretty nice that that happened and luckily you didn't run higher.
