Hi can anybody tell me if regular human insulin (Actrapid) as an example is the same as the stuff humans actually make? I mean molecule wise as I know they do things to it to make the rapid and basal insulins. curious! Thank you

i used to change mine every time but in the past few months i've started to use one needle for all meal time insulin so 4 times and then use a fresh one for my basal insulin

just GP changing my needles without permisson. have my old ones back, for now! :)

i'd rather ccg's save their money and let us have the actual needles we want.

i put a stone on but my control was bad pre pump. i lost it after a few months. as mentioned above by tim, i had lots of hypos so kept eating extra til i had sorted my settings.

i use 8u a day and works. just got to give it a few days to get in your system

im pleased you're happier. you know what, i reckon if i went back to the combo i'd be happy too.

For me morning seems the best part of MDI for me. I am having trouble between 6pm and 10pm, but getting there ! I hated having to imput the numbers, get pump out etc... i could not get on with the meter at all. first the numbers never really agreed with how i felt, and yes the strip port is...

so pleased you've able to swap to the combo. i was on the 640g for a year, on and off. hated it! was a combo user before that. anyway, after a lot of fighting i was able to swap to the insight. i like it but am still on a pump break as don't think i can ever get used to wearing a pump again...

i've tried all medtronic sets, animas ones and accu check ones in my time when i was on the pump. all made me bleed, bruise, feel sore and just not work. got so fed up with it all. MDI is working out much better, at least the insulin has gone in!

congrats ;) today is my 15th year. i celebrated with a mcdonald's for lunch. whoops!

i've found no difference in times of onset when i've used my bum. bum/leg/arm seem about the same. maybe a tad quicker in the tummy.

brilliant. weldone on all your hard work.

yeah i often inject through my jeans.

Yes, def contact Medtronic to replace. I had to with 3 boxes as they all gave me terrible problems.

i'm not sure about galaxy s7 compatibility but assume it will work fine with android marshmallow. here is a link to a forum member's blog on the meter http://crick-tech-munch.blogspot.co.uk/2015/10/dario-phone-linked-fingerprick-system.html

have you tried the angled sets? https://shop.medtronic-diabetes.co.uk/en/pumpsupplies/infusionsets/MiniMedsilhouetteinfusionsets i've come off my pump for a while as no set is working, kinks, bleeding or last 1 day before they become so sore i have to pull them. like you i dont like the metal...

i reckon you will have it tuesday, will prob send out monday. i had to send my pump to them for repair once, sent thursday and got it back on the tuesday. ring them to gee them up on monday to make sure they send it.

accu chek expert or freestyle insulinx
