Pump day today!

Nervous and excited. I’m up super early and tidying the house as the instructor is actually coming to my house.

~~

It’s on! We just finished up my training session and the instructor just left. I’m on my own! A bit nervous and being super cautious with my movements right now. We have set all my dosing levels fairly low, so I don’t have any emergencies.

Weird to not be prepping a lantus dose tonight. Pump only uses fast-acting insulin. It is set at 0.20 units/hr (so 4.8units over 24hrs) and then bolusing for meals. My controller is currently programmed for boluses of 1 unit of insulin covering 19g of carbs. So yes, like I said, levels are set fairly low, while I get used to this new system.
