I wrote on another thread the experience I have with ypsomed. I've had enough of it. Simply lost the will with this as so many problems. I've asked to go back into my insight, which I understood I could do before I started this ypsomed trial.
I've been asked if I'll meet with the ypsomed rep for some trouble shooting. I don't really want to as I've had enough. I've even considered if going back to injections would be better if I can't have the insight back. I don't want to lose the use of a pump but the app with the ypsomed is so problematic and I've been on the phone with the company trouble shooting a few times.
Apart from that.... if it was more reliable.... it doesn't have other options on how to display your info for help on decision making each day.
It can't do any stack bolusing so if I'm not sure what I'm eating and I take a second bolus it doesn't want to do that and nurse agrees
It also works out what insulin I have on board and use that towards my next bolts when actually that insulin on board already had a purpose and job in hand
As someone else has said on here it's like technology hasn't gone forward in this case.... and so I use the libre and then try the app then go back to pen and paper to work out bolus etc... but if the app won't do what it's meant to do then it cant help the next bolus be accurate which has other reasons it may not be accurate anyway! Phew!!
Now I need to write this down in a more succinct way to give to my nurse and the rep although I just feel like curling up
I am grateful for the opportunity
But in the first two weeks the machine crashed and lost info and the helpline wasn't working and I had to spend ages calmly trying to fix the problem and so many errors things didn't improve a whole heap
My diabetes is hard enough to control on a good day
During this I've had some horrendous highs and month with regular horrible hypos
Onwards and upwards and hope tomorrow is better
