Scott E replied to RNPumper's discussion 'When in doubt..Alarms' in the group Pumping Our Insulin"I don't follow this rule (I've been pumping for six years), but nearly every time I don't take it out, I've regretted it. The big part of that phrase, the one to be concerned with, is "in doubt". If you can rationalize,…"

Don't be overwhelmed....you'll get it."
etta amy replied to RNPumper's discussion 'When in doubt..Alarms' in the group Pumping Our Insulin"I am fairly new to the pump too. My CDE also subscribed to that mantra.

Not sure if this will be an issue.But dont understand why my CDE keeps saying " when in doubt , take it out ". Are pump failures common ? What about occlusion of the infusion set ? Am thin…See More
