I LOVE my Pump!!!!
Clark has won my heart (and my pancreas)!!!!
I’m still tweaking basal rates a bit, but my blood sugars the past 4 days have been FANTASTIC. My fasting blood sugars before the pump were anywhere from 130 (on a good morning) to 250. The past four days my blood sugars have been in the 80’s and 90’s.
Why didn’t I do this a long time ago????? I don’t even notice that Clark is attached to me 90% of the time and when I do notice him, he’s just vibrating to remind me to check my blood sugar (which is usually in a good range).
Counting carbs isn’t hard, you just have to think a bit more of what you are going to eat. I’ve always thought about eating, now I’m also thinking about the carbs I’m eating!
If you know anyone who is considering a pump or someone who is terrified of the thought, have them e-mail me!!!
This is a report from my blood sugar tracking software, Diabetes Logbook X (which can be downloaded free). As you can see, I had a few days of adjustments, but things are starting to taper off and be in the 70-110 zone. (You can click on the blood sugar chart for a larger photo)
