    Contour Link test machine

    Agreed. Wash hands. Big blood drops. Get and use control solution. Also poke your DSN for a spare meter.

    Unfair without relising? Lots of stores

    Sadly trying to catch the manager when i'm around(about 12midnight) is a tough job, altho some good news is that like the litl stocking problem I had a similar problem with same water and not stocking it full stop (1.5ltr). Asked him to restock it a week later back on the shelves. So if you ask...

    Unfair without relising? Lots of stores

    Is it just local to me or is it getting hard to find sugar free alternatives and/or low prices for sugar free stuff. So far the Tesco I work near has ended supply of Volvic Strawberry Water 2L version which they now only sell the sugary form. This morning I went to get the 500ml version. Sugar...

    Calling all canoeists...

    I know its a bit late to say but still worth noting down. Cooler bags barnitts.co.uk/products/details/7207.html Just don't use it for cooling, its actually an insulation bag so what ever the internal temperature is, it should stay for quite a while depending on the build. The outside...

    Accident with pump.

    Injection based boluses are much more better in my opinion anyways; always works where the pump doesn't. If your out of the old stuff(if you had fast acting previously) then ask your DSN either U100 Syringes or some prefilled pens. I much prefer pens especially when in public.

    Accu Check Spirit

    Ahh the Accu-Chek Combo you shall be getting, pretty much same as the Spirit but with bluetooth and a software upgrade and a Linkable blood monitor. It's quite a nice pump saying that i've only used this pump vs the original spirit. The bolus calculator works briliantly and really simple to use...

    How much Basal doses are you on?

    That would be correct to some extent its just a math formula to figure it out based on correction factor. Since I did it on excel I just copied the formula to every cell to cover the 24hours. Deviation=(Start-End)*-1 the *-1 just inverts the result for correct direction of flow e.g. up or down...
