Insulin Pump


Almost a week ago I worked out James average blood glucose level (BGL) since he had been on the pump. Over 6 days he had an average of

9.0 mmol.

For those of you who don't know the normal average is between 4 and 8 mmol and for diabetics they often say that they need to keep their levels between 4 and 10 mmol. Just out of curiosity I decided to choose a random 6 consecutive days before James went on the pump and work out the average of that. I was shocked (but not completely suprised) to find out that pre-pump his average was 15.2 mmol!!!!!!!

I am very impressed that his average has dropped so much in only 6 days and we are both excited to see how much it drops over the next few months as it is programmed to suit his body better.
