Insulin pump

I'm glad you share these things @roar, seriously;)
To put temporary basal or suspend the pump, do you do it independently of the value of the hypo?
I mean, at first I suspended it if it was for example between 60 and 70, but when I have a hiccBut I don't want to play it.
Thanks again for telling your experience.

If I have a very low hypo, I take off my bomb and wait for a while.If I see that I did not just find myself well, I drink some Coca Cola or take a glucosport and with that everything is solved, but normally I do not need to take anything.
I remember that when I debuted I always wanted to be with high glucose for fear of hypos.Then, over time, I have been taking it more calmly.I think it is important not to get nervous, although of course, it is easy for me to say it because I have never had a serious problem (get to lose consciousness, or something ...).
As I commented before, for me what distinguishes a hypo from another if it is produced by the basal or by a bolus.If it is because of the basal, reducing something the temporal basal I solve it.If it is because of Bolus, the more I have to take something fast that but the hypo will be important.

@Tica, and how long do you put the temporal basal then so as not to have to eat slow hydrates?
At first he also suspended it, but then he had hyperglycemia yes or yes.Now they only suspend it when I am unconscious, and never more than thirty minutes, that once I had an hour and little and it took a long time to regulate again.I have ever put on a mini bolus later to trace the hyper and it hasn't hurt me either.

Hello chic@s, they finally put the insulin bomb!
At least I have some hope, because lately I did not see exit.
Congratulations @anicordoba!You will see that as soon as you get the "quiet" the bomb everything will be much better.
By the way, can you tell me which continuous glucose meter have offered you in the hospital?With offered I suppose you mean that you have been recommended or given you information, right?I am looking at one but since the SS does not finance anything in terms of MGC, you have to look good for prices and benefits hehe

Hello, Lalala8, they have offered it to me in the hospital, the SS does not pass it but it costs € 160 the machine with a sensor and the sensors €, each sensor lasts 15 days.But he hopes that I know that it is negotiating with the SS to cover it, it really is cheaper than the strips if we had them to pay.
Hello Anicordoba.What mcg is that they have offered you?Thank you.
I guess it will be free freestyle, it is not exactly an MCG but it seems a lot, he does not mark the glucose you have, it only gives you figures when you approach the receiver to the sensor and it has no alarms, in principle the sensor hasto put on the arm, in return, much more economical than the dexcom
