Hi Laura, just to say it's early days so don't give up! It's possible you had a cannula problem, however if you find a pattern developing where you end up with high BGs every Sunday night, maybe this is due to lower activity levels on Sundays - my son has a different basal pattern for weekends (he needs more basal). You'll get there! 🙂

I'm fine during the day on a Sunday but from 8pm I start creeping until I hit the dizzy highs of 28/30 (gladly I never have ketones)

Always new cannula changes, corrections via pens & the pump.

I'm off to see my nurse now so she can help me set up a basal rate profile for Sundays & double check I'm doing it right

Also, if you have a big Sunday roast dinner this can have an effect on your BG levels hours later due to the high fat content. We used to find with my son that his levels would be fine mid-afternoon, but by tea time and in the evening they would be persistently high. He now runs an increased basal rate for a few hours after a roast dinner, but it's been a case of trial and error to get this right.
