Posted by me on the pumper’s list.<\/p>\n
It’s my first morning after the pump.<\/p>\n
Last night, I was so tired, so overwhelmed by the events of the last weeks, when we finished pump training, my response was “well”, and a neutral one at that. <\/p>\n
I had been very anxious all day being without any type of basal insulin. I was expecting a whirring, clicking little beast, and it was absolutely silent. So that was weird. I was just numb tired.<\/p>\n
It was so bad, I couldn’t really think last night, yet at the same time couldn’t sleep — I have a myriad of sleeping disorders (sleep apnea, restless leg to start), and bad nights — the ones with no A\/C just mean more bad nights, even when the situation gets good.<\/p>\n
However, after taking a sleeping pill I was finally able to shut down and sleep. Alarm clock at 3:00, quick test and rolled over and back to sleep. Wasn’t sure if I needed to do anything, it was 82, but I felt fine — felt stable.<\/p>\n
Woke up at 4:30 — I’ve been doing THAT a lot lately, and managed to stay in bed until 5:00. However, I don’t feel groggy like I usually do. It typically takes me a good hour before I can function. BS is at 85, typically I wake with sugar between 120-140. Bet that’s a primary cause of the grogginess.<\/p>\n
Pump doesn’t bother me at all to sleep, but then again, I’m hooked up to a CPAP and humidifer, so how bad could the pump be. I think I do want to get a couple of pajamas, and a couple of pairs of cotton pants for around the house. On the thinking stage.<\/p>\n
I really like the following (and this is the Animas software):
\nBeing able to put in food in the database, and it tell me exactly how much bolus I need.
\nBeing able to put in BS in the database, and it tell me how much correction I need.
\nAnd it putting that straight in the database.<\/p>\n
I also like the reports, and my doctor did too, but that’s the statistical voyeaur in me (I’ve actually formerly been accused of that). I would like a tad more information in the reports.<\/p>\n
I’ll let you know how the day goes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
