I had a love hate relationship with my old pump. Loved it during the day, hated it at night. Plus, the whole sensor thing wasn’t that accurate. It almost always work me up with a lost sensor alarm sometime during the night. Well I also hated the screen, I couldn’t see it.
I finally got everything hooked up yesterday evening. I was at the dentist all day when the sensor came in. Fortunately it had a full charge when it got here and I was able to hook it up right away. That was the reason the pump was sitting on my desk all week.
Anyway, last night it didn’t wake me, and this morning the sensor reading matched my blood sugar reading EXACTLY.
Just answered my first question, I can have up to 6 compatible meters. Now I need to snag one or two for free. I don’t see needing six, but I had quite a few of the old ones.
So first, I get comfortable with the way I regularly used the old pump and then I start figuring out features that I haven’t used but should or new ones.
And no I don’t advise people to hook up the pump without training, but I’ve been pumping since 2004 and I’ve been doing CGMS off and on since it came out.
