[Diabetes-talk] wearing your pump

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

If your doctor prescribes insulin, I would follow their orders, and you
can watch trends that can be adjusted then.

Having had diabetes for over 25-years, my body is pretty intuned with
itself.  For years now, I have woke up during a low at night.  It has
been since I was a little kid that someone had to wake me up due to a
low.

I keep stuff on hand right by the bed-- juice, candy bars, glucose
tablets.  I also will wake my husband up if I am low during the night
especially if I feel it is too low to take care of on my own, although
for years I handled my lows on my own.

Work with your med staff for prevention and also what to do if you get
low during the night.

Bridgit

Since you are just learning how to use this, pump, would you share your 
experiences?
I'm quite interested.
So far I am on the pills and the shot before the meal.
I have been so scared to take a shot before bedtime.
They would have to talk turkey before I would do this.
My big fear is this, if I get low and need help what do I do for me.
this is of course in the middle of the night. My morning numbers are the
highest than at night. I thought at first I had to blame what I ate,
where I'm learning this 
isn't true.
Not always, or I would blame my snack before bedtime.
thinking I ate the wrong thing.
Not always true, I need to learn not to blame myself for everything 
that happens when the numbers are high.
Keep up the good work, I know you will get this.
