But, I never get the USB cord backwards. Why? My daughter pointed out the USB symbol looks like a cactus. If you put it in a device cactus side up, it will be right. But, there is an even faster fix. Stick a USB cord in a device. While it is still in the device, put a drop of nail polish on the top of the USB cord. Let it dry. Now you can tell right side up at a glance. At least that problem has a solution. Pushing the wrong buttons on a pump, not so easy to fix.

I have repeatedly put in a BG of "28" where that should have been my breakfast carbs - which is annoying because those "low BGs" now show up in the record. Is there any way to delete a BG once you've entered it and pressed "done"?<br />Scott: There is a "Max Bolus" option on the t:slim.Evanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7860126842626343555.post-59679556465637421242014-03-07T10:40:33.673-06:002014-03-07T10:40:33.673-06:00Most pumps prompt for the BG before the carbs, so ...Most pumps prompt for the BG before the carbs, so I can see why it would be intuitive to put the BG button on the left. But to change it now (well, in tslim2.0), I think, would be a mistake - you'd confuse a previous generation of t:slimmers.<br /><br />The Medtronic pump has a "Max Bolus" parameter you can set... so if I try to bolus for 140 carbs (when I meant to put in a BG of 140), it will deny my request in all capital letters. Does the t:slim have something like that?Scott Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00259475635753627498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7860126842626343555.post-36152723144911372662014-03-07T10:27:38.721-06:002014-03-07T10:27:38.721-06:00I hit the wrong button on the Animas ALL THE TIME....I hit the wrong button on the Animas ALL THE TIME.

I caught it pretty much all the time, but I worry about others who might not have -- or if it was a correction in the middle of the night when I was half-asleep, and delivered a food bolus for a higher blood sugar number, and then went back to sleep... YIKES! Something Tandem really should consider and think about re-doing; total programming, so it doesn't seem like it'd be that big a deal.Mike Hoskinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06551066714605052991noreply@blogger.com
