Hello, Over the last couple of weeks I've been basal testing and the tests were coming out great till about a week ago when I tried to do the night time tests . Second night of testing I had a hypo probably my own fault, and corrected it by scoffing as much as I could munch in the shortest time...

Yes got the call yesterday collect my Insight and can't flipping wait, as I said in earlier post Xmas is coming early for me this year. I've been on NovaRapid for nearly a fortnight just to check I don't react to from the change of Humalog 100 and no problems there. Also since the switch I've...

One thing I've noticed is the complaint about how long batteries last when I used the combo for 6 months and pump I'm on at present batteries were supplied free so is this still not happening with these newer pumps ? As I think changing a battery that is free ? Is a small price to pay and a...

Sent from the Diabetes Forum App VICK22 put a brilliant site address on for hiding your PUMP Hid-in.com it's mainly for the ladies I think but some pouches could be used by a man we'll the multi way body band could be. I know Spiker was having some issues.:D

As the title says I've been type 1 for years and long time pumper as well. I try to keep to a fairly low carb intake 70-120 CHO a day which I do fairly well but recently I've noticed lots more on the forum of knowledgeable Diabetics talking about proteins, fats, TBR, Extended boluses etc, to be...

I'm all for helping young diabetics but the Daily Mail has a bit about this monitor above but is this true a £200 + price tag to me that's not helping them or the parents/carers out much can any shed some light on this not that I want one as I'm too old. ( But you never know)

I've been using NovaRapid in my old pump to try before I go onto Insight for the last week. Yesterday lunch I had a Panini roll, according to Carbs & Cals was 47 CHO apx, bloods were 6.2 I waited 20 mins then had 5.0 units an hour later was down to 3.8 and boy did I feel rough never felt like it...

On the insight pump do you have to keep the remote always within a certain distance of the pump? I noticed yesterday whilst training that if I moved to far away it lost connection which was a bit worrying.

I won't go on too much but I spent 5 hours having a pre assessment for my operation next Tuesday on my knee and only to be told I can't have my pump all because the senior nurse who assessed me had never seen or heard of much about them. I'm spitting feathers, so we know what'll happen my blood...

Does the Roche Insight pump come with an instruction book?

I did post this earlier but holy knows where:-p I'd heard earlier on that Accuchek had temporally withdrawn the manual filled cartridges on their Insight pump for some reason? Any one the wiser at all ?

Sent from the Diabetes Forum App As I've mentioned in previous posts I'm changing pumps to an Roche Insight shortly, as I'm full of intrigue I've now found on the web it only has pre filled cartridges that are NovaRapid, but I've been on Humalog cartridges for aprx the last 20yrs . What can I...

I've had clinical depression for 36 yrs very badly at times but more stable over the last 4 yrs, even though I suffered ive always been very positive and go lucky type of guy to hide the upset. I feel that i'm on my own with my health though the only time I get any support is when i'm hypo (not...

I've just had my training day for the dummy pump booked for March 11th (Insight) so excited I just hope I can visually read remote and pump did have problems with Combo especially loading syringe/cartridge a couple of years ago so had to stick to a basic pump, donnellydogs said it's much better...

I think it's been mentioned that pumps do carry on after their life time days on their timers, If so if this true? And how much longer for as people use them for back up ? Do they just take the battery out to stop it or do they have a alternative back up power chip that keeps them counting...

Is it just the One Touch Verio that keeps popping up on the forum I'm really finding it annoying I've got the settings on my phone to stop pop ups but it keeps happening :-(

Hello can anyone recommend a Sweetner for use in a coffee, before type 1 I use to love a coffee and I still like the very occasional cup but I substitute it for food to have two spoonfuls of normal sugar, there must be something else, I can't stand the little tablet sweetners they make it...
