Is anyone on a pump anywhere near Prestatyn north Wales? I have come on holiday and forgotten cartridges for my pump.

I use accurate check combo.

Many thanks
Lee

Turner.....the combo cartridges can be re filled a few times with no real problem.. So no worry.... just put in a full amount of insulin to last you 7 days and then re fill again

I thought of that, but you need an injection or blue connector to do it.. If you have only got the cartridge in the pump how are you meant to fill if without an injection, the blue connector or the tail to screw on.???

Good point DD but theres such a thing as using a disposable luer connecting needle which sre easy to get through a pharmacy for not too much money. Turner, if you are staying in a hotel or guesthouse, pm me yr address and I will send you a cartridge and blue thing in the post... with any luck you will get it for Tues ok
