    Ho did my cannula fall out?

    Hi and thanks for reading this...... I was woken at 4.30am by my Medtronic 780G high b.g alert. I wasn't happy to find that my tubing had fallen out (??) whilst the cannula was still firmly in place, around 1.30 am and my pump had been giving correction doses which weren't getting to the...

    Has anyone done the Expert patient programme pre-pump?

    I'm currently 'jumping through hoops' (quote from my DSN) to get a pump. I've had this cursed condition for nearly 40 years. I took up 'running' last Summer, and, as with all exercise,I'm at risk from lack of hypo awareness. Worst so far was when I found myself running with a bs of 1.5. I've...
