Pumps are so adaptable. Miles better than the injection you had in the morning ? 🙂

True Hobie - but BG in the high teens and mega ketones and we STILL need pen or syringe jabs of our chosen insulin, some place else than the pump cannula to make sure it gets absorbed asap, cos the amount you need is massive in comparison to your normal rate.
