2 am pump alarming...glucose meter alarming....no sleeping
Well I had one of those evenings , my twins turned 9 and my wife has thrown an absolutely memorable birthday sleepover for my kids. The food was a combination of finger foods that I could only estimate as to what their carb content was. I was taking all kinds of insulin and thought that I would probably be in the low range during the night.......wrong....I awoke to beeping and couldn't figure out what it was. My pump was beeping because of a low volume and low battery alert. My cgms was beeping because I was 280.....niiiicce. I have a feeling that those things were probably beeping at me for hours as far out of whack that I was.
You would think that after almost 45 years of this thing, that I would have it figured out. Oh well, I guess this gives me time to do all the blog posting that I have been meaning to do..
Keep Going.......................Peace, Bob

Ugh! I have those nights almost every night. It seems if it's not my nursing baby awaking, it's my CGMS, or my pump! I can't remember the last night's sleep I had with absolutely no interruption, but thankfully I think God designed out bodies to adjust to LIFE! haha. Hope you get some rest!
