Bla, Bla...blog

Last week was a relaxing week! I started the week of very positive! I didn't let my job get to me! I tried to keep a positive frame of mind; easier said than done. I think sometimes people tend to try me but I let it go one ear and out the other!
I had a lot of high fasting bg's, not sure why! I didn't let me it bother me. I figure if it was high Sunday morning I would adjust. Well guess what....this AM it was 114. Last night when I went to bed my bg's were 90!!! I figure the Dawn P is getting the best of me. I'll get it together, no worries


Last Tuesday was Pod change night. I changed my POD went to bed. I heard peep, peep, peep. I got out of the bed, went by my PDM and it read change pod; heck I just put in 150 units in this new pod! I called Insulet and I told them what happened. The Rep asked what I was doing when the alarm went off, I let her know I was laying down. I asked the Rep what could've caused the Pod to alarm. She said she didn't know but it happens sometimes. I let her know I just changed my Pod, she said she would send me another one. I am glad she will be sending a replacement Pod but what about the insulin that was wasted!?! I am thankful for the replacement Pod's but I have to figure out away to get a vial of extra insulin to cover me for Pod changes. I'll talk to my Endo about this when I go back next month.

OmniPod PDM-Error

Before dinner I had to test my bg's, there's an error...My PDM says, "Remove POD, PDM error" Beep Beep...OMG! What do I do??? I have never had this issue before. Should I remove the POD? beep, beep!!! I can't get the PDM to stop beeping.
I noticed on the bottom of the PDM it says call insulet and it gave me a reference number.
I am trying to fix dinner, my family is staring at me!!!

I can't believe it, I jinxed myself;that's what I get for saying I haven't had any issues.

Katrina (Insulet): "Thank you for calling the Insulet Corp. How can I help you?"
Me: "Hello, I was testing my BG's and the PDM read---PDM error and starting alarming! I have never had this problem before."
Katrina: "Do you have a paper clip? You will have to take the back of the PDM off, it needs to be reset. Push in the little button underneath the battery."
Me: "Ok, will I lose all of my setting's?"
Katrina: "No, your setting's will be ok but you will not be able to bolus. You have to use a new POD."
Me: "Will you send me a new Pod? I just started using my current POD yesterday."
Katrina: "Sure."

I changed my POD and I still wasn't able to bolus

Me: "How come I can't bolus?"
Katrina: "You have to enter it manually the first time and after that it should pick up your setting's."
Me: "ok!"
Katrina: "Do you feel comfortable with using the OmniPod and Do you have any questions?"
Me: "No, thank you for your help."

I was checking my postmeal BG's and my bolus calculator still wasn't set up. GRRRR! I had to tell myself to calm down. I had to reset all of my bolus setting's on the PDM. I am glad I remembered my settings and VERY happy I had the manual or I would've been SOL and still on the phone with Katrina.
