Hi there, I’ve been closed looping with Ypsomed/CamAPS FX since March too. I was the only person due a pump upgrade to choose Ypsomed. It’s a good little pump and the bonus for me was that it takes novo rapid pump cartridges! [emoji123][emoji847]

Just having a browse on here and I also remember all the above equipment! Gosh, what memories. I was diagnosed age 10 in 1979. I’m now closed looping with the Ypsomed My Life pump and CamAPS FX and have the Dexcom G6 CGM. I’ve been a pump user for about 4/5 years and started looping in...

I’m a hardcore IOS user Chas! I bought a compatible Android from Back Market which I’m using exclusively for diabetes. Nothing else. Here’s hoping one day soon IOS will be supported.

Morning everyone, well, my closed looping start date in only two days away! I’m upgrading from the insight to Ypsomed with CamAPS FX. Ypsomed wasn’t on the list of upgrades from the hospital but, thankfully my DSN granted my wish got funding. I’ll be the only one in the trust using Ypsomed so...

Hi there, I am upgrading to Ypsomed from the insight pump 27th February. I’ve got full funding for looping. Last month I started Dexcom G6 in ready for my upgrade. I already have the pump and supplies. I had to invest in an android phone as currently iPhones aren’t compatible with the...

Lovely to meet another Ypsomed user. I’ve received my pump and consumables, I’m just waiting for training. I’ve been an insight user for 5 years and I’m looking forward to the upgrade. [emoji112]

Lovely to meet another Ypsomed user, I have received my pump and consumables and I’m just waiting to be trained to use it. I’ve been on the Insight pump for the past 5 years so I’m excited to upgrade. There are very few Ypsomed users here, I’m in a Facebook group though. [emoji112]

Yesterday during my Dexcom start up with the rep and other type 1 CGM users, I mentioned your above comment. Thankfully, this is incorrect. Everyone was well controlled with excellent HBA1C and all confirmed they do finger prick tests maximum a dozen times a year. The Dexcom rep including...

Hi Chas, just an update. I now have my trial of Dexcom in preparation for upgrading to Ypsomed. I’m an iPhone user but I’m investing in an android to use exclusively for my diabetes, which will loop to the software in question. (I don’t pay for any of this.) [emoji112]

Hi, I’m currently upgrading from the Insight to the Ypsomed. Yesterday I got my trial of Dexcom G6 in preparation for the Ypsomed upgrade which is soon to follow. I’ll be closed looping. I chose Ypsomed over the others as it uses a 1.6ml pump cart, (same as my current insight pump.) T:slim...

I think you missed the essence of my post.

Thank you @ElenaP I feel very lucky. I hope in future you’ll be able to upgrade to something easier. [emoji8]

Morning all. I just want to share my news, the cat wasn’t interested! After 6 years on the Insight pump (and testing my BG by finger pricking) I have just been told I can have the pump of my choice which is Ypsomed and Dexacom G6. The only pumps on offer at my hospital were Omnipod, Tslim or...

I agree, Max, please keep posting. X

Thank you everyone for your kind words, I really appreciate everything you’ve said. At the weekend I visited my parents and I happened to mention how dizzy and tight chested I’d been feeling of late. My parents happened to check my fit bit to see my pulse rate as they know I’ve been stressed...

I’m following this whole thread very closely. I’m a type 1 teaching assistant in a middle school. (Years 5 to 8.) My head fought with staff all throughout the summer about mask wearing, basically refusing point blank. I sent numerous emails saying how much more vulnerable I am and he still...

Ohhh I know, we as a staff and union members are all fighting for it to be made a personal choice to wear PPE or not. A mountain has been made out of a mole hill. I will not be giving up and will fight for this basic human right.

Dear Max, I am currently at loggerheads with my head teacher due to him refusing to give me (and all staff) the choice to wear a face shield/mask. I knew he had had a number of run ins with teachers who have asked, but I believed in my case, (type 1 and been shielding since March,) he would...

I’ve been refused. I’m type 1, 51years old, high Bp, under active thyroid, and I work in a middle school.

I work in a school. I’m type 1, age 51, pump user.....just thought I’d add that! My headteacher told me he will go at my pace and doesn’t expect me to be back anytime soon. I do feel, when we know more about the virus and schools are more prepared that September could be a possibility. My GP has...
