I love my insulin pump. And I love my CGM. They’ve completely changed how I manage my diabetes and are helping me live a longer and healthier life.
But they never shut up.
I’m constantly beeping.
It could be that I’m low or high and missed the first vibrations from my CGM.
Or it could be that I’m bolusing.
Or my pod’s 72 hour warning.
Or it’s been 80 hours and I NEED TO CHANGE MY POD!
Or it’s my pod failing while priming.
It could be that I didn’t feel the vibrations from underneath my pillow and now DexCom is blaring in my ear waking me up.
Or sometimes it’s just my language that should probably be beeped out when one of these other beeps is DRIVING ME ABSOLUTELY CRAZY. :)
I share the same feelings. It's funny how pumps and CGMs in some respect give you freedom, but in another sense you're a bit held prisoner! It's like, wow, can you just do your job and quit telling me about it all the time? :)
