Re: [IPk] Pump not working when changed, any ideas?



Do you check glucose levels before changing and fill the cannula? avoid
lumps etc?  there really is a lot to consider.  Does your son find the
process stressful?  That might raise his sugars if it does.  Dont give up or
feel disheartened, the learning curve takes time.  I'm sure there will be
someone on here with a better suggestion for you.
