Oh I remember the problem with pumping
LOL just when I write and say that I can’t think of anything irritating about using a pump I have something irritating happen. I forgot to talk about sweating! If you sweat a great deal the sticky stuff on the infusion site quits sticking. This happened when I was showing dogs in the summers. I am in the mid west and would go to shows during hot humid weather, I would sweat and sweat and pretty soon my body and my canula would part company. My BS would hit the roof and I was in for problems. If I was away from home for the week end I could go through 10 infusion sets! Now that I am no longer showing dogs I have hot flashes (yes God does have a sense of humor). Today I saw that my BS was 480, I had eaten Sushi for lunch and it does have sweetened rice and I figured I hadn’t taken into account the amount of sugar. (each sushi bar has different recipes) I gave myself a correction bolus and tested again in about 45 minutes and got a “HI” reading so it had gone up
significantly. I looked at my infusion site and yeppers hot flashes had caused so much sweating I had lost the canula. Now I am on the way back down with a new infusion set. So that is the biggest irritation for me.

Judith,
I can’t see a whole lot of difference in eating raw meat than drinking milk….. Why do we drink milk from another animal? In order to expedite the process, why don’t we just go and hook ourselves up to a cow t-t?
