    Going out for a meal

    How do you manage when going out for a Chinese buffet style meal with your control. No matter what I try I always go high the following morning. I do a multi wave or extended bolus but nothing seems to work for me.

    Omnipod pump or solo oump

    I'm due a new insulin pump next year but I would like to know if I can get more choice because at the moment my hospital only currently offer the ypsomed and really want a patch pump. Have I the right to at least be offered more choice?

    Hypo treatment

    I've had a pump for a long time now but have never had consistently good control. I seem to get good control for a few days but then it gets bad.

Have used...

    Pump sites

    I'm thinking of trying different cannulas I'm using 8mm but might try 10mm and see if things improve. Just one thing I don't understand is why I get better control using my arms than when I use other parts of my body.

    Pump sites

    I have been having major issues with my pump sites. The only place where my insulin is absorbed well is when I insert the cannula in my arm, the control is then good.
