| I may work better if you're using their meter and letting the pump read the meter. I did that for a week and really liked the idea. But I still don't think it had an alarm after a low reading. Please don't think I'm unhappy or trashing this pump. I'm just trying to learn to use it to its best advantage and hoping that some of these things I think of are really in there - I just haven't found them yet. I'm at my two week anniversary and feel so comfortable. I LOVE taking a smaller purse because I don't have so much junk. I LOVE being able to leave my purse in the car if I want. In south Texas you don't do that with vials and pens in there because of the heat. Now that my only insulin is with me - no purse! I love not getting out a pen and alcohol pad when I'm eating in public. Push a few buttons and I'm good to go. I love not having a day's range go from 46 to 346. LOVE my pump.
Next Saturday I'm going to an advanced pumping class that MM holds. I feel like I'm ready to move it up a notch. Hope so anyway!
