Three days, or until the insulin is all used up - that is how long an OmniPod is to be worn for. Before pumping, I was unsure if the scheduled three day replacement interval was going to be a nuisance. I even pondered the idea of trying to sneak in an extra day on the pods- so long as there was enough insulin stowed away in them. Well, that notion, along with a little of my patience, consistently scurries away when I near the end of a pod cycle, and the three day itch sets in. (READ MORE)

I needed a set change last night. I am not one of the good diabetics that always do their set changes the same time of day. When I run out, I change. Anyhow, last night was one of those times.

I'm a zombie when I wake up to test Charlie late at night or in the dark early hours of morning. It's not such a good thing when you're handling your child's lifeline in such a state of fuzz.
A couple nights ago, Charlie's blood sugar was 330 when I checked him before I went to sleep at about 10:30 pm. Not wonderful, but fixable with a little beep-beep arrow-arrow beep-beep, like I'm playing 1977 Mattel electronic football. I clip the pump back on Charlie's Spiderman pajama waistband and crash to sleep; setting the alarm for midnight to make sure everything is cool. (READ MORE)
