Today my sugars have been hovering around 12-19 all day. Corrections, temp basals....nothing seemed to work. I replaced everything yesterday (cannula, tubing, cartridge, insulin) so I assumed it was all good.
Tonight I had 15g carb with supper and instead of my usual 1:10 ratio I have 1:5 plus a correction. 2 hours later my sugar is still climbing so I decided to pull my cannula.
This is what I saw (it was on my butt so I didn't see it up close until I pulled it)
It seems like some of the insulin wasn't going in all day? I guess? I have never seen this sort of insulin condensation on my infusion sets. It's definitely insulin, I wiped it with a q-tip to smell it and make sure.
Has anyone experienced this?


Yes, I've definitely experienced this, but not too often. Maybe the insulin was coming back up through the hole made by your cannula insertion. I don't know. Very frustrating though. Good decision to pull it and try again.
