Taking a break from my pump

Well, I have been disconnected from pump since the blood sugar late last night.  It's been Lantus and NovoRapid since, tho' found out from another PWD, that Lantus doesn't always take effect right away. So, I maybe in for some lows eventually.

I did call up Animas an hour ago to explain the situation, and wanted assurance that when I pull battery out of pump I won't lose all my settings.  Luckily, Salvador is like a PC, shut it down, it retains what is in it's memory. That's a relief. I had to take out the battery, as the pump of course has run out of insulin (I was going to do an infusion change today actually).  So, rather then have Salvador screaming away <> I felt it best to remove the battery - but just needed confirmation from Tech Support at Animas.

I'm going to try to see Endo tomorrow (my Mum said to just drive to his office instead of calling), not sure what help he will be as he's not a pump expert (hard to find an endo that is - even the Animas tech said that to me for those of you in the States).  One friend has said that I should ask him to have my blood count done.  That diabetes may not be the cause of all my woes with my BG's being high.  I do know, as my parents had called up, one of my problems is with a volunteer job I took on, which has blossomed into a one-person show with resignation of President. I'm Vice President, guess who takes over in the interim?

I'm telling you, since we both frequent Twitter, the PWD group there is so amazing, with all the responses I received from "WTF do I do???".  Amazing how small the world is when a social community like that can bring you all so close together in our fight for remaining healthy / sane with this disease.
