A few nights ago, I was upstairs, working on my IIMCs & watching DVDs of my favorite TV show, Friends. I hadn't started using the sewing machine yet so there was just the sound of the TV.
But I kept hearing a beeping noise that sounded like it was coming from the right side of the room. Now my sewing room is my daughter's old bedroom. Some of her stuff is still there - softball jerseys, cheerleading uniforms, stuffed animals, toys, her bookcase, her bed, etc. But I couldn't figure out what would be making this faint, beeping sound. It would beep three times and stop. Then a few minutes later, it would do it again.
At first, I thought maybe it was an old smoke detector needing a new battery or an old toy where the batteries were going dead. But since it only beeped three times, I didn't have time to find the source before it stopped.
Note: I take a LOT of medication & just started on a new anti-anxiety drug. So I was really starting to worry that I was losing it. 
Then it finally dawned on me. I took my pump out of the pack and it said something like Battery Off - No Power. Oooops! I did it again. I let it run out of juice. Luckily, it had only been doing this for a few minutes (but it seemed like much longer). So it hadn't been stopped very long. So I ran downstairs & changed the battery. Voila! The beeping stopped. Imagine that.

What is That Noise?

Hi Donna.
So your pump had a low sugar of its own! Good thing you caught it quickly.
Were your sugars OK?
Jeff - You're right; it did have a "low". After I changed the battery, it did the same thing two days later. Must be a bad batch of batteries. So I opened up a new package & it's been fine since then.
Yes, my sugars were fine. It must not have been doing this for as long as it seemed. I was glad I was home & had quick/easy access to the batteries.
Hee, hee - you're so funny! Isn't it amusing when it's the very obvious thing?
Colleen - I know; it was like - duh! LOL!
