[QUOTE="Maco, post: 2385556, member: 465882"] There’s a few steps you’ll need to do every few days. Firstly you’ll need to change your infusion set every 3 days. The infusion set is a tube that goes from your pump into your body that transports the insulin. That will need changing every 3 days as a minimum. Alongside changing your infusion set you’ll need to draw up a reservoir full of insulin. You’ll need to learn to do this yourself, your insulin will come in a bottle to be drawn up. Again this needs doing every 3 days alongside your infusion set change. As for your sensor change. This will need doing every 7 days. You have 2 parts to your CGM, the first is the part that goes into your body & the second is a little white disk called the transmitter which you insert into the sensor. When it comes to sensor change day you’ll also need to charge the transmitter for at least 30 minutes. Then you can go ahead fitting your new sensor. Firstly you insert the sensor into your body, you then place 1 piece of oval tape over the sensor. Secondly you insert the transmitter than fit a second piece of tape. Usually you need someone to help you fit the tape & transmitter because of where you need to place the sensor you usually can’t reach it with both hands. Once everything is fitted and in place, the sensor will ‘warm up’ for 2hrs. After which you’ll need to check your blood & enter the reading into the pump. The sensor will then come to lift, 6hrs later you’ll need to do another blood calibration. [MEDIA=youtube]0DoeJeqH-nY[/MEDIA] here is a video. [/QUOTE]
