It is important that you are always prepared when you come to your appointment for diabetes clinic. The only way that that you can review and manage your diabetes care with a pump is by uploading it to a computer, reviewing the patterns of glucose and making changes to the settings.
The night before, or morning of your clinic appointment, you need to upload your pump so that the doctor and treating team can review the settings with you. If you pump is not uploaded, important appointment time will be lost while uploading the pump in clinic
If you have an issue with uploading your pump, you need to contact the pump company as soon as possible to fix the issue: Medtronic: 1800 777 808, AMSL: 1300 851 056, YpsoPump 1800 447 042
