Everytime I wear the pump in my arm my blood sugar always goes high but can't always use my legs and stomach. Does anyone else have this issue?

Recently for the past few days whenever I am going low I turn off my insulin pump then put it back on again when it's rising again and i seem to be having less hypos than before. I have a tandem t Slim pump and use it on manual mode as control iq just didn't work for me. My dsn doesn't recommend...

I'm getting the ypsomed pump the next time I'm due to change. Has anyone else done this? Do they find it better?

Yes I've heard that as well fingers crossed it will happen this time and no more excuses

I'm currently using the tandem t slim and not sure for a change until next October but when I do change it will be the omnipod if available in my area at that time or the ypsomed pump. I must say that the tandem t slim has got to be the worst pump I've ever used and would never have another one.

Thank you I appreciate that I think I will get the ypsomed pump.

Have been told the next time I'm due to change my pump I can either have the ypsomed pump or the medtrum nano. Would be interested to hear from anyone who is using either pump. The pros and cons thanks

That's exactly what I do keep my sites on the same side as my dexcom.

I'm taking slightly more now but feel I'm putting on weight very rapidly.

Am totally fed up with this control iq and this pump. It seems that control is good for the first day after a set change but by the 2nd day control is all over the place. Control iq doesn't bring my blood sugar back in range until about 8 hours have passed. Woke up this morning at 6.20 and it...

I have recently changed insulin from novorapid to fiasp and have noticed I have put on weight since the change over. Has anyone else noticed if they have as well?

It always attached to either my waistband or on a arm band

I just feel that I need a break from it after being attached to it all the time. If I had a tubeless pump then maybe I'd feel differently. Have had pump breaks in the past and then went back on it after a few weeks.
