Hi all,.first question if anyone could throw some.light on my problem,.that would be great thank you
I have a Medtronic 640 pump currently and am my 4th pump I recall and have always had this issue. When I do a set change I follow instructions and rid the reservoir and tube of bubbles and fill 2 units of insulin ( 1 more than recommended), however 9 times out of 10 my BG can go well into late teens for 3 to 4 hours? If I correct I always come crashing down to Hypo and sometimes will have 2 after this 3 to 4 hour period. I have spoke with Medtronic but have had different cannula prescribed but, this has no change of outcome?
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards RR.
