Seriously bit of a rant but...
I went to the hospital yesterday which is the first time since christmas, new year and birthday and my second pump checkup.
Both my DSN and pump rep looked dismayed at my 'Highs' and the fact im on a flat rate basal still.
Why cant they look at the achievements I've made rather than just the not so good stuff? I've stopeed getting high 20 something readings and the worst readings have been the last few days while on steroids (highest about 20)
Seriously wish they could look at me as a person rather some numbers or a graph
I felt like I had to push for any helpful suggestion from them and even then they shyed away from anything progressive such as an insulin change... the best i got was a box of longer infusuion sets (with a BMI of 23 I really dont think this could be the major issue)
