I've done that too : D given a bolus and heard the pump going in the toilet. Somehow a reset does nothing to improve my speed... go figure.

Thanks, i just double checked but not the case.. :(

I have a bit of a beef with my insight in that it takes ages to calculate a bolus, sometimes I'll be about to eat and waiting for the handset to calculate the bolus, and I just end up forgetting about it so the hanset times out before actually sending the bolus. The handset has been getting...

Thanks for the replies, warmth of the body does not seem to be a factor (from the general consensus), I change my insulin every 3 days as recommended, no blockages that i'm aware of. After a pretty bad week I have realised my bolus ratios have changed quite a bit, so hopefully that was the...

Hi, I have been using a pump for about a year, numbers have been great so far. I ercently started trapping the pump (accucheck insight, novorapid) to my belly with a lycra band, which is very comfy. However about the same period I have noticed many highs which I was not having before. I am...

Oh, well I hope we'll be ok with the infamous Insight then, eh? : D Thanks for the info, I'll talk to my GP, and please post your progress if you have some input Gaz-M.

I'm getting the Roche Insight (reading the forum now i am a bit concerned)

how many cartridges come in a box?

"Please wear the pump in such a way that the Quick Bolus keys on the top of the pump cannot be pressed accidentally" You gotta be kidding... Sounds like when Apple said of their antenna problems that "users are holding the phone wrong"

Hi, I'm very concerned with this as I'm about to get the Insight for myself. One question, I was under the impression that before you get to the point of DKA the pump sounds an alarm when insulin delivery is blocked due to kinked cannula, isn't this the case?

Oh dear, I am starting with it next week... : (

Thanks so much guys, that's really helpful! Also, my GP has prescribed 1 single insulin cart, (100units should last me 3 days i calculate). I need to ask him to up the numbers but I want to have an idea of what is reasonable. How many carts do you use a month?

That would make a lot of sense! I'll wait for the start session , see what the Nurse says. Thanks

Hi, I am due to get a start session with my insulin pump next week (yay!). The nurse at the hospital has given me a letter for the GP to get the necessary supplies on prescription, ready for the session. The list includes insulin cart, strips, ketosticks and lancets, but no infusion sets. It...
