What Causes Sudden Palpitation With High Sugar Levels?

Hi, I have a question. My blood sugar has been high for the last 5 or 6 days, and I can NOT get it to come down. I use an insulin pump and just changed the infusion set again and put fresh insulin in a new reservoir. After I changed it, about 5 minutes later, my pump said No Delivery again. My heart started pounding in my chest for no reason a few minutes ago. What do you think is going on and what should I do?

there are numerous causes for palpitations in diabetic patient but common ones are low sugar level or nervous problems .
Do u get dizziness or blackouts when you suddenly get up from sleeping or sitting position, constipation or diarrhea, if yes then can be nervous problem.
Anyway get sugars tested during palpitations and if possible ekg.
