Steeeep learning curve with random remarks.

Things have been moving along.  The pump is working but not as well as we would like.  There are still too many lows.  When lows happen on the pump at least you can shut it down  so that you aren't fighting the infusing insulin on top of the low.  none the less, we have been cutting the amount of base that Mr Footless gets at night.  We are still too high but this takes time.  The programmed amounts for food and getting down from the highs are too small.  we have improved this by a lot but it still isn't right. Another piece of unexpected education; infusion sets and hairy bellies make for horrible defoliation scenes when you take the old set off.  The way to make it work right is to take the tube off the set,draw around the adhesive with a sharpie, choose the site for the next set. shave it, insert the new set. and only then remove the old one.
We got the first electric and gas bills that mean something since the weatherization. after the first month with the heat on consistently our gas bill (Last year at this time 124.00) was..... 43.00.  The electric bill dropped by 16 dollars with the new refrigerator.  Hurrah.
