Ever press the buttons on your pump and nothing happen? Well that was happening for me. I'd have to press three or four times before it woke up and I finally broke down and complained about that last Tuesday.
Animas said they were sending a new pump right now, and then I started stressing out how to get it. If I have them ship to school, I've had to hang around and wait as long as 5:00 pm and since we don't have a school secretary right now, I probably wouldn't get notify. If it gets sent to the house, they deliver real early and then I have to pick it up at the UPS depot, usually not a problem, but had agility class that night.
So the Animas person suggested it would be a good time to take a day off and relax. She was right.
I made sub arrangements and stayed home. And just messed around. Came around 11:00 am, took about 2 hours to reprogram it and I made two "mistakes". Forgot that the reminder has to be done independently and some how in the last few days my pump ended up at am instead of pm and vice versa. All is good now.
I still need to work out new basal rates. Some how my insulin sensitivity is high again. More on that on a seperate post as I still haven't worked all that out.
Really glad I have a pump that wakes up when I push it buttons.
