Wondering why my @MDT_Diabetes pump isn’t giving me insulin (the purple dots at top represent micro boluses) when I was over 300 🤔

High all afternoon 😬😭

[Kelley-Below-Seven @A1CBelowSeven]

This keeps happening to me multiple times a day 😭😭😭. I should call Medtronic but don’t want to waste hours on the phone getting frustrated more than I already am 😬😭😔

My 670g pump ring broke and I’m so sad. I got a replacement pump and am so bummed it has to relearn me for auto mode. I’ve been so spoiled lately by how great the pump/Cgm auto mode has been working that I’m going to be so sad to be without it for 3 days! 😭

[Kelley-Below-Seven @A1CBelowSeven]

Was frustrated with @MDT_Diabetes when the ring on my pump broke because I filled the form out but they never called and I was on hold for over an hour, but once I talked to someone, they were great and my new pump/Cgm arrived in less than 24 hours! Phew! Thanks 😊

@MDT_Diabetes I finally got through with someone. Being on hold for over an hour is a little frustrating though, especially while trying to make sure my toddlers don’t destroy the house while I’m on the phone.

[Kelley-Below-Seven @A1CBelowSeven]

Hey @MDT_Diabetes the ring on my 670G broke off. I filled the form out on Saturday and it said someone would contact me in 24-48 hours but no one did. I called today and I’ve been on hold for an hour and still haven’t talked to anyone 😡😩. I need to get this fixed!

BG is currently 44. I just ate a pack of crackers and THREE packs of fruit snacks 😳. At least I didn’t eat the whole kitchen right 😬. Should be a fun night ahead for my sensor alerts as I rebound 🤪😩

First T1D conference in a while. Really enjoying the day and loved learning about new T1 technology @JDRFCVC #jdrf #typeonenationsummit @MDT_Diabetes

Hey #DOC any recommendations on resources for a mom of a newly diagnosed #T1D? I’ve been out of the loop for a while so not sure where to direct her.

Watching @hallmarkchannel new spring movie #LoveTakesFlight and I spot a @MDT_Diabetes insulin pump!

[Kelley-Below-Seven @A1CBelowSeven]

@emerald110105 @Cigna So I was wrong. It was $200 😭. Still cheaper than the $1200 in January but only because I met my deductible, not because the price was cheaper 🤦🏻‍♀️

[Kelley-Below-Seven @A1CBelowSeven]

In January, I paid $1200 for Humalog. Just put in my reorder and it’s only going to cost me $12! Thanks to whoever made this happen and to @Cigna. 🤗

[Kelley-Below-Seven @A1CBelowSeven]

@emerald110105 @Cigna Maybe because I met my deductible?

[Kelley-Below-Seven @A1CBelowSeven]

We just got home from a magical week at Disney! Something that wasn’t magical were my blood sugars 😭. My 670 had a hard time keeping up with all my extra steps and all the food.

[Kelley-Below-Seven @A1CBelowSeven]

Will always be thankful that @MDT_Diabetes ships my supplies so fast. Put in an order last week, for various reasons (not their fault), it wasn’t processed until today and it’s arriving tomorrow! I also realized today that I just used my last CGM so perfect timing ❤️😊

[Kelley-Below-Seven @A1CBelowSeven]

Just put a @MDT_Diabetes order in for $2500. No clue how much my insurance will cover. Gotta love the cost to keep me alive and have my #diabetes in control. 😭🙄#newyearnewinsuranceplan

[Kelley-Below-Seven @A1CBelowSeven]

2019 technically starts tomorrow right? 🤪 kids back in school tomorrow, back to routine and I’m going to start focusing on my health-eating healthy and walking everyday. New Years Resolution is to be less overwhelmed so hopefully taking care of health will help.
