Can anyone recommend a good phone that allows you to bolus on the app for under £200? Sent from my JDY-LX1 using Diabetes Forum mobile app

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.

Had a call from air liquide today saying that there will be a shortage of tru steel cannulas until at least the end of this year so I've been asked to go back to auto soft 90 cannulas. Has anyone else been told this?

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.

I got on ok when I've had pump breaks previously it's just at the moment the pump only seems to work well when I use it in my stomach and can't keep using it all the time.

I'm thinking about having a pump break has anyone else done this if so how did you manage? Have been on an insulin pump now for more than 10 years and just fancy having a change for a while.

Have suffered from long covid now for more than 4 years and have only got about 30% of my taste and smell back and still have brain fog. Has anyone else got these symptoms still after such a long time?
