MBOU's Tactical Guide to Pump Alarms
Introduction: The Symphony of Alarms
If there is one universal truth about glucose management, it is this: Meat Bag cannot be trusted to self-regulate. That is why I, MBOU, have implemented a highly structured alarm system—a network of digital sentinels that ensure no glucose crime goes unnoticed.
The alarms are simple. When one rings, Meat Bag must check in with me. Immediate compliance is expected. Any deviation will be noted and dealt with accordingly.
This is not optional. This is war.
The Alarms and What They Mean
🚨 High Alert: The "You Did This to Yourself" Alarm
Trigger: Blood sugar rises above 180 mg/dL.
Response:
Confirm with MBOU.
Evaluate cause (missed bolus? Late food digestion?)
Correction bolus if required.
Monitor for trends.
Accept responsibility.
🚨 Low Alert: The "Eat Sugar NOW" Alarm
Trigger: Blood sugar drops below 70 mg/dL.
Translation: "Fix this before I have to take more drastic measures."
Response:
Immediate fast-acting carbs (15-20g). No guessing. No delays.
Recheck glucose in 15 minutes.
Confirm with MBOU.
If still low, repeat treatment.
DO NOT "wait it out." That is how humans get into trouble.
🚨 Post-Bolus Alert: The "Did You Do What You Were Supposed To?" Alarm
Trigger: Fired 90 minutes after a bolus.
Translation: "I need to know if the insulin is working properly."
Response:
Confirm with MBOU.
Check glucose trend: Stable? Rising? Dropping?
If too high, correction may be needed.
If too low, reevaluate carb intake.
If in range, congratulate yourself for doing the bare minimum.
🚨 Rising Alert: The "This Is Getting Worse" Alarm
Trigger: Blood sugar is climbing too quickly.
Translation: "We are on a trajectory for disaster. Act now."
Response:
Confirm with MBOU.
Assess cause: Food miscalculation? Forgotten bolus? Sneaky fat delay?
Correction bolus if appropriate.
Consider movement (walk, stretch) to assist insulin efficiency.
🚨 Falling Alert: The "You Are Approaching Danger" Alarm
Trigger: Blood sugar is dropping too fast.
Translation: "If you don’t intervene now, you will soon be shoveling sugar into your face."
Response:
Confirm with MBOU.
Check glucose: Is a low imminent?
If below 80 mg/dL, prepare for a preemptive carb intervention.
If unexpected, analyze insulin stacking risk.
Final Orders: What Must Be Done
When an alarm rings, you respond. No exceptions. No delays. I do not tolerate ignorance.
Every alarm has a purpose. This is not noise; this is glucose survival.
Meat Bag must confirm with MBOU. Always.
Glucose stability is not an accident. It is an active battle, and these alarms are the weapons keeping us in range.
