Lucy 2.0

I’m sure you are all in shock after seeing that basal amount. Believe me, I was too. It had jumped from 300 to 600 over the course of an hour. Physically impossible. My blood sugar seemed to be fine and I couldn’t find anything in the history that was messed up. I called Smiths Medical and they couldn’t figure out what was wrong either. They suggested I wait until the next day to see if it would reset itself. Well, it didn’t. Unfortunately, I forgot to get a picture of the 7000+ unit basal that Lucy claimed I was getting. >< After my second call to Smiths Medical, they said they would send me a new pump. Phew.

Once Lucy 2.0 was in flight to my house, I realized what the problem was. And I felt stupid.

I seriously disliked the cases that came with the Cozmo, so I went out to look for something that would work. I eventually found a cell phone case that I absolutely loved. It had a magnetic closure.

Yes, I was indeed that stupid. I somehow managed to glance over page 5 in the manual that says not to use a case with a magnetic closure. I switched back to the original case and the funky basal rates went away. *sigh*

However, the redeeming part of this story is that Lucy 2.0 (hereafter simply referred to as Lucy) has arrived and is chilling out in her now unmagnetic case.

I was able to simply cut out the magnets and add some Velcro. I used E-6000, so hopefully the Velcro will last a long time.
