High despite insulin onboard

I usually have to stack corrections to get it down which I know is very much frowned upon and I am not sure a pump would allow you to do that
A pump in manual mode allows stacking - I am a "serial stacker". All the pumps I have used incorporate insulin on board when calculating correction doses so they may suggest you have sufficient IOB or just reduce the correction dose. This can be overridden.

Or do what I do - calculate the correction dose myself and don’t mention it to the pump. I can just do a bolus without having comments from my pump.
 
How have things been going this week @jessd1 ?

Have they settled down at all?
