I so agree. If my GP would do pumps or get a nurse educator who could help me, I would love it. I feel like the same with my endo. She waved that stethoscope across me--no way she could hear anything unless she had super hearing. Sometimes I wonder if there is something going on too. I had such a good day yesterday--was so happy--started out good today and now high again 423 before dinner. Very discouraging, but guess there is no choice but to keep trying. Thing is it is really getting bad--exercise, don't exercise, and even things they say and next time they will change it. I have never been more confused, and you would think that after 16 years it would be easier. I did better when I knew nothing.

Maybe the bumpy thing is part of the problem. I do have bumpy things (starting to pop up all over me, including abdomen--like little underskin mosquito bites or something--who knows what that is) and some scaring from babies. I will ask about the comfort thing. Do you all seem to think it works better?

I feel you have nothing to lose by trying another type set be it comfort shorts or the inset 30's. Also, you may want to use some other sites such as thighs, love handles, hips, upper buttocks..etc. What I have found is the proper set and the proper site can make all the difference in the world. While I do feel you could benefit from some basal testing also, I would change the type of set and use new sites first.

As for the comfort shorts, I love them. Since I started using them things have been much much better for me overall.

It's a shame your endo and his staff aren't more helpful. Also, have you tried your pump trainer?? I found them to be very good at troubleshooting.
