A year ago I was waiting day to put on the insulin bomb, that day arrived yesterday !!!
I have to say that yesterday I was very nervous with the change, it has been 26 years using the insulin bolis, after a session of almost 3 hours learning to configure the pump, change the reservoir, put the catheter, etc ... I leftFor home like a child with new shoes.
My experience so far when they have not yet spent 24 hours with her, the first thing, I find it very rare not having to think about calculating insulin and corrections with the bowls, I have the constant feeling that insulin is forgotten, andI do check routines that I no longer need, to let the pump do all the calculations, it is a luxury ... I mentally free me from a load.
Yesterday for dinner, I think I did not calculate the hydrates that I put for dinner and I had my first hypoglycemia with the pump, I will say that I recovered very easy and in a short time, as the amount I administer is little and read the sensor continuously, when it detects downward trend stops alone, in addition to showing an alert, I will say that all that worked very well and that the recovery did not excessively shot my glucose.
Tonight I have been able to sleep quite well, I was surprised by the stability of the glucose with which I have risen, I am target 110 mg/dl and it has nailed it !!
I find it weird to take the new pot caught to the belt, or in my pocket, the cable is also quite new, so I am very careful so that I do not get hooked anywhere, I think I will get used to quickly, but ofmoment, I still notice.
I have to get used to carrying the device safely, this morning I have gone to the offices on a motorcycle, and when I got off the motorcycle I had the pump hanging from the cable ... often fright ... Look that if I lose the bomb the firstday of carrying it ... I am a disaster!😅😅😅
Anyway, for the moment everything good, learning to use it and with great enthusiasm and desire to refine its use well.
I leave here the bomb link, in case you want to take a look.
