ok so today wasnt the best i had a new endo apptment this afternoon and i sit down and the nurse is looking at my logs and graphs and then
she said soo you are type 1 i say yes i am she
then says so what kind of pills are you are :eek: i reply im on an insulin pump
she says oh so you take insulin how many times a day i was speechless i said i have basal insulin once an hour and then bolus for my meals i am never without my pump
then she said so you give yourself injections for meals / i say no i give a bolus of insulin threw my pump
shes says oh ok then i knew she was lost then she starts going over my numbers and telling me to change certain dosages and wants to see my pump so reluctantly i hand it over shes is pushing buttons and asking questions she is on my bolus wizard setting and enters a glucose of 18 im 5 at this time and then goes to the carb count and says 140 carbs and preses ok i quickly grab my pump and suspend the dosage
thankfully that was the end of her on to the dietician that was great and got some good info from her
never got to see the endo rebooked appt for 2 weeks when have a1c done but requested a new nurse
to top things off i get home for supper and i go to use my pump and bolus wizard and i discover my down arrow on my pump is not working:mad:
so i call minimed and should have replacement tommorow morning i hope its a new pump and not a refurbished one
