No Delivery - Diabetes 365 Day 56 - Nov 30, 2007
The Medtronic Minimed pump in a way lies to us users. It will tell us that we are at zero units long before we actually get there. Actually, it doesn’t tell us it’s at zero units, it will tell us that it has a low reservoir. When it gets to zero, which for me it didn’t used to because I’d freak out and change it when it got low, it continues pumping. Because there’s extra units in there that the pump doesn’t thing are important or something.
However, since I learned that it will keep pumping even after it says "0 units" I force it to use all of them (insulin units). When the reservoir is truly empty, I get the "NO DELIVERY" message, and then I am content to change the reservoir, knowing that all the insulin I paid for and loaded got used.
There is no cure for diabetes…
