I have a synchromed II B pump and am scheduled for a pump refill. However last night I heard a strange sound and through it may have been my pump alarm going off. How often does it alarm and how can you be sure that is what it is?

Hi,

It could be the low reservoir volume alarm.

The best time to listen, is at night when in bed and it's really quite.

Thanks Simon- I haven't heard the alarm again since. The one other time I heard my alarm was when the catheter kinked. I will listen more at night. I have noticed that the week before my pump refill I am just feel like I am running on empty. Anyone else notice that?
