Last night I did a really stupid thing. Somewhere between the hours of midnight and 3 a.m. I "suspended" my pump - all the while 'I was supposed to be sleeping'. I've had the pump for 18 months and never did this before. I don't know if I rolled over on it and accidentally pressed the buttons - but I am thinking what I did was not very smart. I think now I need to lock the keypad just after I test my BG before going to bed???

Maybe you where attempting to cancel a alarm. Upload your pump and export that days data to Excel it will show you every alarm and button push. -------------------- John

I've never accidentally pushed buttons by rolling over on the pump or sleeping on it. I hope your BG wasn't too crazy when you woke up and discovered what happened. -------------------- --

Upload your pump and export that days data to Excel it will show you every alarm and button push. Up to last night I had never pushed buttons (or at least I don't think I did). I will upload and see if I can see the alarms etc. Good suggestion.

Actually my BG was really low at 50 (2.7) and since I have hypo-unawareness I didn't know that until I tested my BG. My Dexcom sensor said 58, but I didn't believe it because my sensor has been wrong before (especially when the sensor itself is going on 18 days). -------------------- Type 1 Dx 4-21-2003

I tried using the key lock on my pump.
It's so good I struggled immensely trying to unlock it afterwards and then removed it! If locking your keys gives you peace of mind then go for it! -------------------- Type 1 Diabetic, diagnosed at 2 years old on 1st August 1976.

Maybe you woke during the night because Dexcom alarmed with a low BG, and you suspended the pump without thinking? The Carelink report will show you exactly what time the pump was suspended. -------------------- --

I looked on the Carelink report and I suspended it at midnight for 20 minutes and then again at 12:20 a.m. for 90 minutes. I sure hope I never do that again.....really weird. -------------------- Type 1 Dx 4-21-2003
