Having diabetes 40 years and living through not even having an option to test or not, I guess it is feasible to survive, but......

I have been pumping for 3.5 years and I have panic attacks if I don't have my meter and I am not able to test every 2-3 hours. Part of my issue is that I have hypoglycemic unawareness, hence the panic attacks.

Pumping has really changed my life as well, but if you don't test what is the sense of having a pump?

A pump is so that you can make corrections at anytime to high bgs, soooo why are you not testing two hours after you eat so that you can correct a high??

Take care of yourself.

Karen
