Procrastination
> Still fighting, procrastinating over the pump….Jim
Jim,
The following was compiled by another pumper. Consider how it may change your
life, then why wait?
1. I can sleep until noon on the weekends without doing anything special and
when I wake up I’m 115.
2. I can skip a meal, eat later, eat earlier, or eat sporadically all the
live-long-day and just change my boluses.
3. I can give an exact amount of insulin (tenths of units aren’t available
with shots).
4. I can decide to exercise at the spur of the moment and just change my basal
rate without having a severe hypo
5. I can decide what I’m going to eat when I see it instead of trying to
predict what I’m going to feel like eating four hours from now.
6. I don’t have ANY night hypo’s anymore. (I used to pop out of bed 4-5 times
per week).
7. I don’t have daily hypo’s anymore & I don’t have to stay over 150 in order
to do it.
8. I don’t get headaches all the time from the roller coaster of going from
387 to 43 in one afternoon.
9. No brainer: no more shots.
10. I feel good/optimistic about tight control for the first time EVER.
