Ok cheers

Hi, just seeing how long people leave a site before they use it again, I use the same 8 sites, so it's approximately about 24 days before I use the same one again I am just wondering is this too much, or about right, I just don't want to over use my sites then making them bad etc Thanks

Ok thanks guys

Hi, how often do people change their cannula site, every 2 or 3 days ?, I think I find on the third day I tend to rise a bit

Hi, at what point would you split your bolus for a high fat meal. I know you would do it for a takeaway etc, but would you do it for crisps, if the fat content was 10%. In other words at what fat percentage content would you split your bolus [emoji52]

Hi All, does anyone have absorption issues at certain areas on their body. I find anywhere other than my belly and around the side of my hip works very well. But around the back and the top of the bum and legs, the absorption is pretty poor: in that pre meal i would be about 6.1mmol, i would...

Thanks for that,

Just a quick one does anyone know how much to fill the cannula on the animas inset 30, I think it's 0.7, but just want to make sure

Hi I fly a lot with are lingus and on a pump, to be honest I wouldn't bother telling them, I don't think it's something they need to know, and they don't understand, I know this prob. Doesn't help much

Yep I'm the same, around the back is hopeless for me, try and keep the sites around the belly as this works best for me, I'm new to the vibe as well and had the same problems as you, has taken me 2 months to narrow everything down, and getting there now, but the site was a big one for me

Ok thanks I'll try the same

Hi all, if after 2 hours your bs are about 4.3 and going low, and let's say you have about 2 units of IOB, would you eat carbs to match your IOB?[emoji111]

I was told lentils were so low in gi not to count for them, try it and see

Cheers, done a fair amount of it already, so I think it is ok except for around 6-7pm when it brings me a but low, but I'll keep at it thanks

My duration is set to 4 hours, I would be around 6mmol before my food and bolus if I wait 30 minutes I would go down to 4.8-4.5, I eat then spike to 13-14 mmol 2 hours later, then start to come down after about 3.5 hours

This is never ending, thanks so far for all the help, I'm on the vibe and Dexcom for the past 5 weeks and still trying to get things right, which I thought I had but seems to change constantly What I have noticed is, I spike when I bolus up to 13-14, 2 hours after and I would be 6 when I...

I found that when you do a sprint for 30 seconds at the end of a running session, this can help keep the bs up for a while

Hi noble head, what is a square wave bolus, never heard of it before. I'm on the vibe, and it has combo bolus on it, so I can split bolus' over a given time etc
