This is the start of day 3 on my set and I'm wondering if that's my problem. Anyone see any other reason for these numbers?

7:30 AM - 113
Breakfast - scrambled Egg Beaters with mushroom, green pepper, and green onion (Bolused for 10 carbs)
10:30 AM - 146
1/2 grapefruit and 4 oz sugar free yogurt (7 carbs)
bolused for correction and 14 carbs
11:30 - 200!!!!

I've been pumping for about 6 months and have not had this steady escalation before.

I'm pretty sure half a grapefruit is more than 7 grams of carb. I'll look it up.

edit: Yep, according to CozFoods half a grapefruit is 13 grams of carb.

thanks - I have it written down as 15 and then read the wrong line! still seems to have pushed it higher than expected, but number mistake and set change needed might explain it. I was just so disappointed, cause after a while of being rather careless, I'm trying so hard!

Maybe your bolus wizzard settings need to be tweaked, if you are using the bolus wizzard. I reccomend using it .......

Bolus wizard can be perfectly set up, but won't work if the carb count isn't accurate.

When i get a "funny" number, I always retest, especially if I'm not feeling the way the number reads. About 50% of the time, the initial reading was wrong. Or you may have had grapefruit residue on your finger, etc. Then there's always the, oops, counted the carbs incorrectly. And my new favorite that I did for the first time last week - forgot to bolus.
