| | | First No Delivery Alarm
Well, I feel official now. I had my first no delivery on Sunday morning. I was due a set change and when I awoke, I noticed I was higher than I should have been. No big deal, correction bolus. Part of the bolus gets in and then I get a "No Delivery"(or something similar to those words) alarm. Decided to go ahead and do my set change. No problems after that. Man, it's great to feel "official". LOL

He asked if I had experienced this yet and when I replied "No", he seemed slightly shocked. Said it probably wouldn't take long for me to experience it. Guess when I go back in June, I'll have to tell him he was right and I hate doing that. LOL.

| | Cin,
Is congratulations the right sentiment here? Maybe not but you didn't panic and fall to pieces. That's certainly a good thing...

| | | Took me over a year to get my first no delivery alarm. Only has happened once in a year and a half. It was a clogged set.

Man, it's great to feel "official". LOL | Actually, on the Cozmo, it doesn't say "No Delivery" (that's MM). Cozmo usually says "Blockage detected" (if it's a blocked set), or it will give a different alarm statement if the set has "run dry."
Glad you got the set changed & are back to running smoothly.

Funny thing is, when I removed the old set, there was a drop of insulin coming out the end of it.  Possible it was blocked somewhere along the line. Visual inspection showed no blockage but that doesn't mean anything.

| | | Alright, I didn't want to start a new thread about this, so here it is.
I have just gotten my third no delivery alarm in the last two days. I changed the entire set both times for the first two, the last one of which was yesterday morning. Everything was smooth for the rest of the day. I ate lunch and dinner, and my post-meal BG #s were decent. My BGL before bed last night was 133. I was hungry, so I ate a bowl of cereal (I know, eating before sleep is not the best idea :P), and bolused what I normally do each time. I woke up this morning with a BGL of 205. Alright, no biggie, I must have eaten more cereal or something than I thought. I went to eat breakfast (cereal again, woo), and I got ANOTHER no delivery alarm when I tried to bolus. Howeverf, I did not get an alarm when I bolused to correct the high BGL, which wasn't even 5 minutes earlier. The tubing has not been clogged either time, and insulin has flowed if I disconnect. I haven't tried any new sites or anything, and I don't think I have any scar tissue. Could it be a faulty box of infusion sets? If it is, it's the entire shipment that Minimed sent me, because I made a point to open a new box of sets before I switched every thing out this last time. This is driving me crazy... I have a microbiology test in two hours, and I do not want to be dealing with this right now. Should I call Minimed? I don't have time right now, but it wouldn't be a problem after my test is over.
