I really wouldn’t want to do anything needlessly related in a washroom. Even tho it may look clean, I’m told that the aerosols set off by water and anything else falling on water can hang in the air and settle invisibly on surfaces.

I guess I’m less keen to show my knickers than some; the tables didn’t have cloths on. If they had, lifting a dress to get to my stomach wouldn’t have bothered me.

I’ve had a new set change experience. A change was a last hope when corrections weren’t affecting high sugars. The venue? A cafe overlooking a Parisian Canal. The proprietor suggested the toilet, which was down a winding stair, dark, below canal level. And a toilet! He said ok, if the toilet...

Hope it makes your life easier! I find the pump I use seems to suit me, most of the time, and it’s certainly reduced hypos. I hope the Omnipod suits you and you have a good future with it.

Which pump has your nurse suggested you try?

Can you contact them online by text or email? If not then if it were me I’d phone and ask if there’s a day and place yet, and if not please contact me when there is. Each organisation is different. We don’t know how your diabetes team operate but there’s no harm in your reaching out to them for...

Yes, I had one too where they said they’d provide one box to start with while they sorted out the supply issue.

I use neither, mine’s a Minimed seven eighty g, but this might help with your choice...

Are you still in Smart Guard?

Do you have the Medtronic seven eighty g handbook? See if there’s a section in there that’ll help? The only other things I can suggest is that you look at carb ratios, insulin sensitivity factor and basal set up The DSN who advises when I ask about finer tuning suggests changing these by small...

Thank you both for your help. Thank you!!!!

Third time of trying, of removing the pump from Bluetooth and then re-pairing on phone and it’s worked. Hooray! The graph’s a bit of a shocker - many more highs than usual - just shows how much having the trends and progress in sight helps to keep us healthier. Such a relief to have it back...

I tried turning Bluetooth on and off again. It told me that the pump wasn’t connected; when I tried to connect it advised that the pump should be turned on, it is, and in range. It’s six inches from my phone. Ha

I’ve already deleted and reloaded the app, and tried to pair the pump but no joy. I’ll take the pump, this new phone and my previous phone to a mobile centre tomorrow as I fear I may need to reset to factory settings to get it all going again but I hope it won’t come to that. If your devices...

I may have found the reason. Looking through the phone’s settings I see that it’s automatically updated to iOS twenty-six . five but the Minimed app only works up to twenty-four . five. Bah!! And much naughtier words!! I’ll have to find out how to get back to the previous iOS. It seems lax of...
