I think the notes are sometimes so lengthy in a scrawl that can barely be read by anyone other than the person writing them that it is quicker to ask. I requested by record after my accident and knee surgery and got 146 pages with hand written notes interspersed with blank pages of irrelevant stuff.
Thanks Patti. I understand that. The thing is he seemed normal with the rest of the staff, and the previous night he thought I was being weird and texted me after our walk asking if I was upset. I said no but explained I didn't like something he said earlier. He didn't reply to that (it was the text I was waiting for the other night) and gave me this silent treatment yesterday...
I know … it seems like a distant memory! Can’t tell if my basal is off or if it’s tiredness - I’m running lower than usual but in a straight line on the graph
Mine are about three years too, and still going. I remember reading somewhere that the expected life was five years. Once the battery goes you need a new pen if you want the memory function, as the batteries aren't replaceable, though the insulin dispensing function should be fine.
I've just replaced my old Echo pens, and both of them were over five years old, I think. But they’ve been replaced with the new Echo Plus, and I've no idea if you can expect such a long battery life out of these.
I think they're supposed to last around 5 years, but I wouldn't be surprised if they don't last as long as the previous ones. (As before, the battery failing won't stop them from injecting. We'll just lose the fancy features until we can get them replaced.)
I think we had a holiday !
