Hi I have recently got a Medtronic 640g and was wondering is it worth insuring? If so what's the best way. Not sure the trust would replace one if I trod on it! [emoji16] Cheers Nik Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum

Excellent! Thanks @Juicyj! Was one of the important features I wanted, ie to give insulin in a discrete way! [emoji16] Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum

Thanks for the advice @noblehead and @Mrsass! Pens will remain away from me to begin with! :) I guess its going to become such a big part of my life, much like my Accu Chek expert is at the moment! Its the simple thing I am looking forward to, like having some food while out shopping without...

Hi @Mrsass No firm date as yet. But I am going to my diabetic clinic next week as they are having a 'pump; day so various reps are there showing their pumps. So the idea is I choose a pump I like, which after loads of research is the 640G. I was wondering if I would end up missing the...

Thanks @novorapidboi26! Cant wait not to have the bloody injections!! :) The book has been ordered @paulliljeros :) Don't need the post its, thankfully I have an OCD wife to cover that!:happy:

Hi @noblehead, is this the book you mean? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Pumping-Insulin-Everything-Need-Succeed/dp/1884804128/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1465393756&sr=1-1

no worries @Juicyj! It would make life so much easier! Perhaps it will mean I won't have to wear a bra now! :D:D Let me know if that works when you get the chance! Cheers Nik

Thanks @catherinecherub :)

thanks @Juicyj! Some vids on YouTube seem to suggest you can...I think I need to makes some further investigation! I also appear to have a 'pump googling addiction'...not sure if medical help is needed with this!! ;) Here is a couple of those vids!

Not sure whether its available for android or not @steveo4 ! I would of thought so! Thanks @BlondeMonkey I have been using that one for a few years, really does a good job! I am moving over to a Medronic 640G pump soon and although it has a bolus wizard on the pump it doesn't on the blood...

thanks @yingtong I am really looking forward to getting it, although will be really weird not using a needle any more! But something I feel I can easily get used to! :) Sorry @Juicyj one other question. Can you deliver the insulin via the Contour without doing a blood test as well? Thanks :)

ouch that's a little pricey! Can't really justify £25 a week. Anyway been doing blood tests for 33 years, sure I can cope! :) Be amazing not to have injections though. Was a toss up between the accu chek insight or the 640, but people say such good things about the 640. Thanks for the advice...

thanks @Juicyj! Just need the cgm bits to be the same and life will be good :)

Hi Just have to say what a great site, never used a diabetic forum before and about to enter the world of pumps, so this is a god send. Cheers Nik

Hi I am about to branch out to the world of insulin pumps, at last my diabetic centre has agreed to fund me :) I am going for the Medtronic 640g after lots of online and this forum searching. My question is the blood testing machine you need to use, contour next link 2.4, are the strips...

Thanks guys for all the replies. Have plumped for the rapidcalc as it seems to be pretty easy to set up and does all I need. Although they do like sending emails to you! :)

Hi Just joined this very useful site and thought I would leap in with a question. Does anyone know of an app that you can enter how many carbs you have and it tells you how much insulin you need based on ratios you can preset it with? Many thanks in advance! [emoji16] Nik Sent from my...
