Olivia has a chronic issue of forgetting to bolus for meals. She regularly spikes up after breakfast because she forgets to give insulin. I'm not always up when she's eating, so I forget to remind her.

I went thru her pump history yesterday and it looks like she only took two boluses all day, one at 10 a.m. and one around 3 p.m.. She claims she put in her blood sugars and bolused, but none of that information is showing up on the pump. When I went thru her meter, it showed that she'd tested way more than twice yesterday. I don't understand why it's not showing up in the bolus history, though. I don't even know if that's possible and given her history of forgetting to bolus, I'm questioning the broken pump theory.

I asked her to log her boluses today on a piece of paper. I hope she remembers to do that. I have my doubts - she's very forgetful. I don't know how to tell if the pump is the one with the problem. She says she's only had one alarm in the past week - a motor error, something that happens once in a while and seems to be kind of random. Unfortunately, it's never happened when I'm around.

I'm hoping that today will show if there's a pump issue or a child issue. I almost hope it's the pump. That's easier to deal with than Olivia these days. She's epitomizing difficult teenager right now.
