I got accu chek spirit, on Monday, so I have been on this for nearly a week.
This w/e I stayed at a hotel with a pool...and got advise that it was ok to be disconnected from the pump for upto 2 hours but no more.
Followed this advise but thought 1hr 45mins tops...this and blood sugar felt high.
Did a blood test and this was 20....no wonder felt high.
Couple of questions....is this sort of rise normal...I was 8 when disconnected, (I had eaten two wholemeal sandwiches, with correct bolus taken prior).
Also....I was using this as almost my dummy run, for when I go away in about a month.
I have two young sons one will be 8 and the other is just over 1, both of these will have me in the pool for most of the day....how will I cope with this...I cant be disconnected for such a period and have such blood sugar.
How do long term pump users cope, with disconnection, dirty pool water, and holidays?
Any help or advice appreaciated.
