Ped Endo tells me that we can do the pump trial with Novolog at noon.

Diabetes nurse calls back at 6pm and says she talked to the Dr. and he doesn't want us to do Novolog, just saline...because Livia is on a small amount of insulin and the pump will clog. :confused: I find it weird that he would talk to me and say "just fine" and talk to her and change his mind. :confused:

Everytime she calls "out of the blue" it's not something good. :rolleyes:

Maybe it will clog and it's for the best...but this nurse just seems like she's got an agenda of some kind.... the..."that's not how we normally do things"....agenda....

We have a nurse like that who infuences the docs decisions sometimes. Thankfully she is NOT his regular one and not the only one on the team. If I have to hear "I've been doing this for 16 years..." One more time from her. GRRRR :mad:

Ooops! My laptop was acting up when I tried to change the title and I posted this twice.


**update**
Just got off the phone with the pump rep.....

It's office politics....the nurse told the pump rep..."No insulin in the pump"....not realizing the Dr. had told me it was OK to do insulin in the pump.
So, the nurse decided to have it her way..........................:rolleyes:
