Yesterday, I woke up with beautiful numbers, and then I was ok around lunch, and then higher at dinner which kind of floors me cause I was at the lake all day, extrememly active, and then really high after dinner, and then took a correction came back down went to bed where it came up a little bit then I woke up at 215 this morning, now my bg's are starting to go down ever so slowly, ok, but when I disconnected I forgot to put my pump in the shade yesterday, so it was in the beaming sun for atleast 30 to 45 minutes, so could my insulin have gotten hot and now it is not working correctly because my site seems just fine, hmmm, so I just decided now to change the resevoir out, and see what happens I guess by after dinner tonight if my bg's are still stubborn I might just take the site out.....but I really think i got the insulin too hot, cause I was fine till after lunch......yesterday, and then I thought I might just be having an elevated day, but I never wake up high ever, especially since I didn't eat before bed or nothing to that affect, and no I am not pmsing yet.....

Another thing, I don't want anyone saying they have been out in the sun blah blah blah, I am getting that mess from the other forum I am on, I have never had issue's being out in the sun all day with pump on me, or whatever, but I was totally disconnected for about 30 to 45 minutes, and it was totally in direct sunlight, no shade from my body or clothes and no, cooler body heat, cause the body is still cooler then the beaming sun, if you all get what I am saying.....

I've been out for hours in direct 90 degree heat with my pump with no issues; however, the only way to make sure you'l be okay is to test and keep track of how your sugars are reacting. If the insulin has been denatured, you'll know.

I just keep on thinking what I possibly could of done wrong, ate a turkey sandwhich as usual for lunch, and for dinner had two chicken drumsticks ripped the skin off I seasoned it and made it and nothing I put on the chicken had carbs in it, ate two pieces of bread, cause I didn't want to attempt frenchfries and some fresh veggies which I totally added in with my bolus, that was all yesterday, I cannot understand what the **** happened, I have had such gorgeous numbers since Tues of the week before, I cannot understand at all, I know we suffer from elevated days for no reason that is why, I wasn't freting yesterday, but now it spilled over into today, which is so totally sucky, I did a site change on Thursday it was mid afternoon, i stayed in the 80's and 2 hr post meal was 124 for dinner then back down to the 80-90's range till morning woke up at 96 then I was 109 for lunch and then boom hopped in the lake afterwards and that is what went down hill from there, i just don't get it anymore, I am patiently awaiting right now for lunch, I decided to eat breakfast anyway, and skyrocketed to 244, which an hour later down to 210 and I have been moving around all day doing house work only to come on here now and again.....but the bolus for breakfast was before I changed the resevoir out, so I am not going nuts yet, and all, I figure it I am not in good range by bedtime it is this site or I am just screwed up and it pisses me off.....

I had done nothing wrong I am mad and all now....
