My NSV was the 1st of Feb
And boy was it a red letter day for me!!!
After two nights of lows (in the 50's) and adjusting my bolus on my pump down to compensate, eating honey(all I had in the way of quick sugar in the house) to bring me up and still not getting up high enough to suit me, I finally decided it was time to try it without the pump. So after my shower on the 1st. I took the battery out and put it aside. I did check my blood sugar before doing it, it was 80, and just an hour before it was 100.
Anyway, I do know that I I am tired of chasing my blood sugars. I know I can't eat full sugared stuff yet.
I've been off of the pump since, had a few readings in the 140-200 which I treated with a shot of insulin. But only 3-4 in two days.
Not bad at all.
