Nope, not a new Nancy Drew mystery, unfortunately. It's much more prosaic.

Olivia has been using the One Touch Mini since last summer. She got a new, downloadable one at the endo appointment in February. It's her favourite meter.

However, yesterday I went to put her numbers for the last couple of days in the meter and I noticed that she tested her blood sugar at 4-ish on Friday and never checked it again until the next day. She swears up and down that she did check it, but there's nothing in her pump and nothing in the meter. Check that - there are carbs and insulin doses in her pump, but no blood sugar readings.

So do I call the meter company or do I stand over her while she checks and enters her blood sugar for the next couple of days, to make sure she's actually doing it? Given her history of not entering blood sugars into her pump, I'm inclined to think that she's not checking as opposed to it being the meter on the fritz.

Have any of you had this problem? Maybe someone with a younger child who's doing the checks and logging immediately afterwards has seen these disappearing blood sugar readings. If so, could you let me know so I can call the meter company and not feel like a total gullible mum? I, and my shaky hold on my sanity, thank you.
