hey fellow pumpers!
i think that ive hit pump blues. Im fed up of it - big style! I cant believe the amount of times ive had trips to the ANE department of the hospital due to DKA due to insulin pump failures! ive been more times in the past 9 months when using the insulin pump than i ever did in the 9 years of injecting!!
it seems that mostly i rip the cannula out during the night and dont realise until the morning, by which point i am vomiting, not keeping down liquids, keytones off the clock and out of it! the whole process is becoming as familiar as the back of my hand at the moment! the only problem is that where i live, diabetes isnt such a huge thing in the ANE department so its highly frustrating to communicate what i need and why. but thats not the point.
am i the only one that this happens too? if it something that is going to continue then i cant see me keeping the pump for much longer. im trying to reduce my HBA1C but with these spells literally happening every month then it is getting more and more difficult!
help! :cry:
