You know you're a pumper when...you test, get the number 18.8 mmol & are actually relieved ...because that means the cannula you put in half an hour ago or so to replace the one that 'went off' / failed in your sleep is actually working, as your levels are not more than they were when you woke up feeling grim & testing at 19.8mmol! 🙄

...and the best thing, for me at any rate, is at least these figure are only occasional now, not every morning as they were at the end on mdi with dawn phenomenon! Thank goodness... 😱
 
This made me laugh!! Defo been there before haha
 
You know you're a pumper when your blood monitor displays "Hi" rather than an amount. I just thought it was being polite:D
 
It's great when you are low too, although it always abbreviates it's greeting to (Hel) " 'lo " then doesn't it?

V friendly. :D
