I'm with you, I hate throwing out potentially good stuff, but I always end up regretting it when I try to fix a problem by the bolus/rinse/repeat method, and it doesn't work.<br /><br />I also agree that I'd much rather treat a low than a high. It yields quicker results. Tastes better, too.Scott Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00259475635753627498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565266366481013224.post-59103461701604487232012-05-21T12:09:19.018-07:002012-05-21T12:09:19.018-07:00Oh,,, The worst thing in life is having to make (p...Oh,,, The worst thing in life is having to make (painful) decision!

We just started the pump 4 weeks ago and I find myself trying to milk a site because its only been 2 days and we were told 3 days for site changes. Of course the fact that I nightmares the night before infusion set changes because they are so horrible probably feeds my "Chronic-High-BG-Maybe-The-Bolus-Will-Work-Syndrome."Laurahttp://www.neveronmyown.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565266366481013224.post-9709597577946277712012-05-16T22:03:30.914-07:002012-05-16T22:03:30.914-07:00OH MANNNN!!

To me, lows & highs are both "mistakes" that I need to fix. But at least a low helps lower my next a1c. I know that's a horrible way of thinking of it, but I do think that regularly. <br /><br />And because of this I react the way you do to the highs...When I start to feel low I wait around for a while and hope that some how my body will find some random pocket of stored glucose it just forgot was there. So silly and unreasonable.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing!!Mikehttp://www.whatsomewouldcalllies.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565266366481013224.post-82454350942237975302012-05-16T09:36:23.003-07:002012-05-16T09:36:23.003-07:00I milk sites because the way the system works here...I milk sites because the way the system works here, I don't have a lot of extra pump supplies.<br /><br />Awesome post...
