Sometimes I really hate my pump
Just had to change my site. It was going great. Put the insulin in. Put the pod on my tummy. Inserted the cannula and then it decided to alarm. And it wouldn’t stop beeping. I took the insulin out and stuck the alarming pod under my pillow. And now I’m bleeding. Great. Opened a new pod, put insulin in, and of course at the end of priming, it too decided to alarm. Fun stuff. Take the insulin out and put it under my pillow. It sounds like a bomb is about to go off in my room. Open a new pod, fill the pod, and pray that this one works. Fingers crossed the entire time it primes. Thankfully it worked. And now it is on my tummy. But I’m still pissed. Eff you faulty pods! You actually may be killing me. And now the two beeping pods are chillin in my freezer between the brussel sprouts and the tortellini.
To stop the beeping, you have to put something like a paper clip or screw into a tiny hole on the bottom. If you peel back the sticker, it’s next to where insulin is inserted. I hope that makes sense!
