Stories about living with diabetes as a teenager
Insulin pumps and Automated Insulin Delivery (AID) systems can greatly improve glucose management but do not eliminate the risk of diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA). Because these systems use only rapid-acting insulin, any interruption in insulin delivery (e.g. infusion set failure, pump occlusion, empty reservoir, or device malfunction) can rapidly lead to ketosis and DKA - even if glucose readings are not very high. DKA is a serious and potentially life-threatening condition.
If you feel unwell, have persistent high glucose levels or detect positive ketones, please immediately contact your diabetes team and follow their advice. Do not rely solely on the AID system to correct high glucose or clear the ketones. Always check that insulin is being delivered and use your backup insulin method (e.g. insulin injections or insulin pens), if needed.
