JEN here’s an idea
Hello Jen…..
I’m not a doctor…
The number’s you’re having could be all kinds of problems. Regardless of how it happened, you did just fine kiddo… even ASSUMING that you could have turned the &@)#&@#@) thing off… but none of that is important.
My advice and its purely my worthless opinion….. (ie not worth anything)
Until you see your MD today, tomorrow, consider going back to your normal short acting insulin injections. Something is wrong with the machine, or you made some kind of silly proceedural error. No biggie. But until you figure out what happened… disconnection sounds the safest route.
Heck the insulin you’re using could be comprimised… any chance its been frozen, boiled (real cold, real hot) in the last few days? Dorm rooms are not exactly comfortable places temprature wise. Classrooms, not much better… Left in the car for a few hours… all kinds of possibilities…
Anyway it goes… something is off. Your numbers need to come down because you feel like hell x10. Only way I can see in your shoes would be go back to what you are certain worked… even if less so called perfectly.
Please take it easy on yourself… you encountered one of the RIGHTOUS white coats… they deserve mockery and scorn. I know I tend toward cranky at 600 too…
It does come down… but if…. IF it doesn’t from the injections, change insulin pens, change vials… maybe something happened to yours?
Just my opinion, I could easily be mistaken…
