The 2 big mistakes in pumping
Well I did it today, I ran out of insulin in my pump. Thank goodness I was close
to home at the time but it did cause my sugar to sky a bit. I thought I would
share that with everyone because it can happen to all of us, sometimes you just
got to relaxed and forget.
The other big mistake of pumping is changing infusion sets at bed time. If you
fall a sleep you have no way of knowing if the set is working properly. If you
must change at bed be sure to do a 3 am test.
A 3rd mistake would be pulling the syringe out of the pump before disconnecting
or puling off the site. Be sure to disconnect it so you do not give yourself a
large dose of insulin.
I figured I would share that with you
