Tomorrow is our annual comprehensive (and quarterly) A1c appointment. If you are like me and have a history of cramming the night before a big test, I bet you can guess what I have been doing....
Something that takes a lot of time and whole lot of patience. And no, not studying.
Downloading.
Yes, downloading. Not the kind of old-school "downloading" (did we even use that term back then?????) that requires memorization and books. Instead, the modern day download of tiny microprocessors cleverly disguised as medical equipment.
A whole lot of downloading from two DexComs and two Animas Ping insulin pumps.
I am not sure what your thoughts are about the "dongle" that reads the Ping but I think it makes even the calmest people a little crazy. It takes hours and several reboots.
I swear that I am not moving the sensor! $%&! (insert bleep!)
And why is it that the DexCom seems to take years to load data?
I have been up and down and back around at least four times only to see the same data load position of 52%. Are you kidding me? Load! $%&! (insert a second bleep!)
So if any pump/CGM manufacturers out there want a little (bleeping) advice.... please start using 4G because my simple little cellphone is a million times faster than either of these!
Grrrrrr.
