Hmmm... mine seems to be on the highest setting... I will give this a go too!

I guess a very light go with a nail file might be worth a go :D I'll keep trying with the moisturisers as well. Thanks

Sorry for the slightly gross topic but I wondered if anyone has any tips for my fingertips! I have increased the amount of testing I am doing having just gone on the pump, however, I am noticing my fingertips getting worse with scabs and dry skin, which in turn is making testing slightly more...

Hi @Kevin1987 Congrats on your pump! Glad you love it so much already! I am completely in love with mine too. It already feels like it has changed my life :):D:)

Perfect! :D You feeling more excited today? 4 more sleeps!

Thank you! Funny you mention the test strips, I have already used a pack of 25 - worrying about running out now I have started my last pack of 50! Better get hold of some today!

Thank you for the advice! :) I spoke to my nurse and she suggested waiting until today when I see her to have a look at things, in case some levemir was still lurking about. Things seemed to iron out a bit yesterday during the evening. Still a little on the low side pre bed though so will see if...

Morning @Mrsass :D I did blus with my latte and it seemed to keep things steady! Congratulations by the way on the pregnancy! Howfar along are you if you don't mind me asking? How exciting! Another good night! My 3am test gave me a reading of 13 so I gave the bolus via the wizard. Woke up on...

That it a strange feeling. When I gave my last injection I could almost hear 'Land of hope and glory' playing in the distance ha ha! It was strange not doing my usual injections this morning as well! Happy days! :D:D:D:D

Oooh how exciting! Only a few days left to wait! When I was sat in the waiting room yesterday afternoon, all of a sudden the same feeling came over me that did when I was about to walk down the aisle at my wedding! The excited but nervous feeling. I haven't had the pump for even 24 hours yet but...

Thanks so much! Yes, its in the stomach, though in a part that I would never have thought of putting it! I just can't believe that I can't feel it there at all. Last night was good too! That was one of the parts I was most nervous about, thinking it may get tangled up or pulled out. I bought a...

So here I am, with my new 'best friend'! I have to say I am amazed that I cannot feel it at all and I feel like it has always been here. I know that getting basal/bolus rates correct is going to take some work, but I am truly thrilled and feeling optimistic even after a couple of hypos. I think...

I always have the same problem in hot weather and yesterday was quite a nightmare from morning until evening! It's easier to prepare if on holiday and you are expecting hot weather! Bit difficult in the UK :cool:

Hi there! I will be getting my pump at 2pm today! :cat: I will be sharing my experience with the forum so you may find it useful? :) I am getting the Medtronic Minimed 640g. Watch this space, as they say and good luck with your decision making!

Thank you @Mrsass [emoji8] seems the machine was right! I waited for it to come down and after three hours was 12.1. Now had some food and coffee and ready to take on the day (at twenty past one in the afternoon! Shameful ha ha) Roll on Tuesday pump day Xxx
