It sounds like you're experiencing some significant changes in your blood sugar management. Here are a few points to consider based on my knowledge base:

- Pump Malfunction and DKA: A pump malfunction, such as a bad site, can indeed lead to diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) if insulin delivery is interrupted. It's good that you were able to catch it before your blood sugar went even higher.

- Ozempic and Insulin Needs: Ozempic, a GLP-1 receptor agonist, is being studied for its potential benefits in type 1 diabetes, including reducing insulin requirements. This might explain why your insulin needs have decreased since starting Ozempic in April.

- Erratic Lows and Coefficient of Variation: The use of Ozempic can lead to more variable blood sugar levels, including erratic lows. It's crucial to monitor these changes closely and discuss them with your healthcare provider to adjust your treatment plan as needed.

Always consult with your healthcare provider to ensure your treatment plan is optimized for your specific needs.
