    Minimed 640g question

    @Juicyj thank you so much you have been such a help these past 12 hours! There is no flashing light or notifications but I've since worked out its actually from my meter switching itself off not the pump at all [emoji1787][emoji24]

    Minimed 640g question

    Just got my pump yesterday and was given the contour next link meter that sends the bg reading across to the pump. As I've had to record my bgs hourly I'm almost out of test strips. Is it ok to manually enter my bg until I get more? My nurse seemed to really push the fact I needed to use this...

    Hypo on pump help.

    Thank you! When I was on mdi I didnt panic over hypos but i sure did last night! In my head i thought the insulin is constant so i should suspend the pump but i couldn't remember what my nurse had told me-to suspend or temp basal! Anyway by chance what I did worked. I recorded my bgs hourly...

    Hypo on pump help.

    I ended up running a temp basal 50% until 4am. I watched the trend on my libre and once it started to rise I stopped the temp basal. After the hypo I was pretty steady all night! Itll take a bit of getting used too. Thanks for last night!

    Hypo on pump help.

    20 mins after treating my hypo I'm now 5.2mmol. I'm thinking I'll just keep the temp basal on for the night?

    Hypo on pump help.

    Levimer. I went to 3.2mmol. I took 15g fast acting carbs and put a temp basal 50% for one hour. My nurse asked me to record my bgs 2hourly overnight so I'm not worried about getting to sleep I'm happy to keep monitoring but I'm wondering if I should suspend delivery completely until I'm above 5...

    Hypo on pump help.

    I started pumping just today. My bg is now 4.4. Am at a friends and don't have my booklet with me and taking a complete mind blank! If I go below 4 should I suspend or do a temp basal? Do I treat with 15g carbs as I usually would? Do I enter the correction carbs into the pump? I'm probably...

    Levimer before pump start..

    Thank but I was eventually able to get hold of her and was told to skip my morning dose. I guess they all have different ways of approaching it [emoji4]

    Diasend/carelink help needed!

    I am using the phone to scan but as I stated above the data is not transferring to diasend or at least it's not showing on my screen. I also need to sort carelink but I'll have to find someone to show me. Thanks for responding.

    Diasend/carelink help needed!

    I've set up my account and downloaded the recommended software. It says its sharing data with my clinic. It says its connected to my libralink app. But no info is coming up on my computer? I'd expected to see my graphs/readings etc. I'm a real technophobe so if anyone can explain to me what I'm...

    Levimer before pump start..

    I'm due to start on pump on Mon. I take Levimer 10u at 8pm and 10u at 8am. I think I remember my nurse saying to skip the 8am dose that morning but to take the usual dose the night before. Does this sound correct? I tried to confirm with her but can't get hold of her [emoji51]
