After gathering serial number and rev number from the pump, they are shipping a new pump for Monday. She kindly explained, and I agreed, that the pump was still functioning, I just have to remember it isn’t water tight anymore.
Whew!

Pump “problem”
Well, I’m about to see what kind of service I get from Animas. I was changing my batteries tonight, the pump tipped over and the corner of the battery door chipped off, which I think means the pump isn’t water tight any more….
I did call this evening — 12:43 am there time, and they said leave a message if it is urgent, and since the pump is still functioning it doesn’t seem urgent.
I’ll call first thing in the morning, and remember to keep my pump dry!

Test results
This is cool — my primary care physician has a telephone line that you can call and get and leave messages. I had several medical tests done — fluids were obtained Saturday and he left my test results on the system today.
News was good. Creatin was 0.9, thyroid was normal and albumin < 5.0 123, good was 47, ldl was 61. He said chrostreol was "awesome".
Looks like what we are doing is right.

Sleep
I finally slept all night last night. And could go asleep. Sure wish I could fix the sleep problems permanently. I know I’m going to concentrate on that over the break.

Almost the end of the year….
It’s almost the end of the year, and we STILL don’t have a continuous blood glucose monitor for patient use. Right now, Minimed has one that doctors can order and you wear for 3 days, but there is no real time readout.
Both Therasense — now owned by Abbott and Minimed were supposed to have one out by the end of the year.
Well, we have a couple of weeks yet, but I’m not holding my breath.

More on not sleeping
I’m stll having trouble with the not sleeping thing. The worst part, is that I really can’t control my eating when I don’t sleep, especially evening eating — which then means that I have most problems with gastric reflux, meaning I have more trouble not sleeping.
Lovely catch 20-20.
