Record keeping for diabetes management
Now that you are using the pump with insulin, we will be asking you to test your blood glucose regularly. The
information from your blood glucose journal is your healthcare professional's only method of making adjustments in
your pump settings. It is important to test often and write down your blood glucose readings, the food you eat, any
exercise you perform and any other notes to explain your blood glucose results.
You must test at the recommended times and any other time that you feel your blood glucose is high or low. Be
sure to include your meal boluses, correction boluses, the amount of carbohydrate you eat, basal rate and any other
information that will be helpful in assisting your healthcare professional in adjusting your pump settings.
It is very important to look at your blood glucose readings as feedback regarding your diabetes management, not as
statements about you or your self-worth. Try not to have an emotional reaction to the numbers and do not judge
them too harshly. You will soon learn how to modify the numbers easily and precisely through insulin pump therapy.
TEST AT LEAST 4-6 TIMES A DAY.
These are the recommended times to test to determine control:
