This is the conversation that doesn't end
It just goes on and on, my friend
Some woman started saying it
Not knowing how it how it goes
And she'll continue saying it forever just because

Ad nauseum

I keep having this conversation with Olivia (and thus, with all of you lucky, lucky people) about her not entering her blood sugars in her pump. It is driving me in-freaking-sane.

I tried really hard today not to get upset with her. I didn't yell, but I was firm. I asked her why she hadn't entered these blood sugar readings and she said she didn't know. Then she said that it's because she's pushing the buttons to quickly and half the time, doesn't even look at the pump (ack!!) when she's doing it.

I said that we (we being the operative pronoun here) need to figure out a way to solve this. We need to figure out a way to remind her. I said I could send her text messages at school, but she said her teachers would get mad and take the phone away. I will have to discuss this with the school - I can understand them not wanting her getting beeped, but it wouldn't be all the time.

Even though I wasn't angry (at least not outwardly), she still started crying. She's so sensitive when ever I try to discuss any problems with her diabetes management. She gets super upset and generally winds up in her room, crying (like she is right now) and I wind up feeling guilty and exasperated.

I have no idea how to resolve this problem. The stupid insurance we have doesn't cover the BD test strips, which is the only meter that talks to her pump. When she was using that meter, we didn't have this problem nearly as often. But now that she's using a One Touch, it's at least once, sometimes twice a day that she's forgetting to enter her blood sugars.

I'm really at my wit's end here and desperate for suggestions.
