Cortisol is a stinker too.

I'm with you. There's the evil pump fairy too, you know. You mean
you haven't heard of her yet?

Control is VERY difficult. And, even when you think you've finally
got it all figured out, it CHANGES!
I think we do the best we can. When my doctor shows me her chart
taking from my pump downloading and it shows some highs and lows, I
just shrug my shoulders and say, "well that's life". She doesn't
argue with me. The best a doctor can do. My last endo was so cool,
until he retired, he also believe that there were just some things in
life we couldn't control and expecting perfect bgs all the time was impossible.
Now, I'm in the process of training my new doctor. She'll learn
eventually, I'm sure, if not I'll fire her and find a new doctor.
