On my way to the endo tomorrow think A1C will be up just like last time. I am having some highs over night and lows durning the work day. Last time was the first time I have had all of my blood work to come back normal. Hope it stays that way. Will find out tomorrow.

Pump Crached last night around 9:30

My MM 722 crashed last night about 9:30. MM told me to disconnect but though I would stay hooked up and test every hour to make sure I would not do a nose dive with my BGs. Did great last night. After being on the phone with Medtronic for about 10 min.s had a new pump on the way and rec.ed it about 8:45 this morning I am up and running and things could not be better.

Jamie said… - I really like it a lot, I have been on the pump for a little over a year and everything is going well. There have been some things here and there that have happened, but nothing that couldn't be fixed quickly and nothing that the company wasn't helpful with and replaced at their cost. My blood sugars are like a normal persons with the pump because it's so easy to keep track of everything. I do have highs and lows but I think that will happen no matter what I do. It was a huge sock to all of us when I was diagnosed 2 years ago. No one in my family has Diabetes of any kind and defiantly not Type 1. So it has been not just a big adjustment for me but for my whole family. But I am fine with it and I just see it as one of those things that happens. At least it is not something worse that I can't take care of. How do you like your pump?
