How old is she? My daughter didn't like it at first as she "looked different" at age 10 but bought her an emoji cover for it (wearing dabbee website) and it settled. She tends to clip it to her pjjamas to sleep but uses a belt at school

We gave up on mios too as they kink at inappropriate moments. Sure T are fab and my daughter loves them as they never fail. We change every 2 days or occasionally 3 if we forget

You need to watch foods high in vitamin k unless you are suitable to switch to a newer doac instead of warfarin? Then you can eat all the spinnach you like

Sure t all the way. Teflon ones kink and stop working

Please remember there are other reasons for brain fog, anaemia being a common one so he needs to see a gp for some bloods

OK we are up and running with new sensors. Different tape to go on top and they last 7 days but that seems main difference. I have a new inserter (but looks very similar to old one) and charger is exactly the same. 2 hours to warm up so no change there sorry

We took my mother on holiday and used a company called "insure with" as she had cancer and this firm specialises in people with medical conditions

Update! Have new sensors and transmitter. Will report back one we have tried them

I tried to order them but they are out of stock and neither do they have the transmitter which is needed for it. So I guess we stay with the old ones for now!

We always used tegaderm without any problems although the dsn said rock tape is better

So are you saying you can't test at all as your hands are so affected or you can't write down the result? There are some other meters that Bluetooth to a smartphone if you can do the test: gone test lite smart and wavesense jazz do one

Hello. Has anyone who uses medtronic pimp with elite sensors been moved to the new transmitter? Is it the same insertion device and just the same to use? We need to move across by June apparently

Yes i know. I only do a late test at 11pm now on my way to bed and the sensor will suspend the pump if necessary overnight so I can sleep all night!

There is a limit to how closely you can watch them. In our case the severe hypos led to nocturnal fits and emergency admissions. Then having to face the consultant after a night on the ward looking very haggard. I do sympathise with you. The pump has been a game changer in the long run but was...

Yes been accused of that as well. They put my daughter on a pump with a sensor and I upload data every few weeks. It has kept things more stable although takes time to fine tune the basal rates. Good luck
