| No real back up here. My husband knows how (and has) tested my bg while I was asleep, put the number in my pump and given me the bolus though. With the active insulin/bolus wizard feature I am not conserned about him over dosing me. My mom (a nurse) was also good about doing all I needed while I was asleep too. He also knows how to use my glucagon. He knows to call my mom if there is a problem he's not sure about and if all else fails or he freaks out--call 911.
My grandmother REFUSED to give me shots. (She also refused to comb my extremely curly hair) both because she said Grandma's aren't supposed to inflict pain. Whenever I stayed at Grandmas's my aunt would have to drive down at breakfast and dinner (from 3-4 miles away) and give my shots. Once I started doing them on my own, my aunt would still come to supervise.
