Hello, I have been on Novorapid since 1997, using a pump, I’ve had a lot of arguments with Novo Nordisk about air in their vials, some so bad I could use it as a spirit level! so, the last straw was when they said nothing was wrong, I worked in pharmaceuticals, and I said there was, I finally...

Humalog has made a difference, but the pump is amazing, you can bolus and not get it right and the pump will put you right, you can even see how much extra it’s put in, where you misjudged the bolus, in the last 2 days it put in 18 units, this must be where I’m not carb counting correctly, hence...

I found the Libre 2 was lagging too. I had Sarah teach me, very knowledgeable, very easy to follow, very straight forward too. You can download the simulator for talon and play around with it, when I got my pump, I programmed it and was all ready to use, but I held back, as I was unsure when...

I’m in Norfolk, the rollout of CGM’s to all, starts next April 2023, but it doesn’t mean we all get it, immediately. Usually it’s the centre of the country and spreads further down then sides, so it could be years until I see any “free”CGM’s. I took the plunge to self fund, not only because...

I’ve just moved over to the TSlim and self finding the Dexcom, I don’t see why I have to, very unfair indeed, illleave that there. The TSlim is a absolute monster at keeping bloods tight,the Dexcom and TSlim go so well together, I used to be all over the place, high ( 31 and then drop to 2)...

Ido t know if anyone is still looking at this, I’ve now gone on to the TSlim control IQ and Humalog and the Dexcom G6 ( which I’m self funding) I am absolutely amazed at this combo, where I used to have peaks and troughs all day and night, and mainly all over the place, and usually I’m a mere...

I’m going on Humalog with my Tslim pump. I actually heard from the hospital, that the order was placed today, very excited that I’m leaving the accu chek pump and novo rapid insulin behind. Like you Megan, I find novo “rapid” very slow indeed, and after the company it even bothering to...

I too had those choices of pumps, I’m in the 60 year old bracket, but find them all easy to play around with, as I’m interested in that sort of thing. My choice is the T Slim Basal, but, I have to self fund the Dexcom, even though way back when, I did medical trial for them on the Dexcom 3...

Hello Naomi, I’m on the insight pump, hate it and hate the novo rapid vials of insulin, I’ve had the pump since it’s been out, 8 years now ( this is the 4th or 5th one I’ve had, as they just kept failing) I have 42 days left until the warranty runs out, and wishing that it couldn’t come quicker...

I won’t, I want to know there are no bubbles in the insulin, knowing and the pump working correctly! All the highs after changing. The vials are so small, I change every other day, ridiculous, and then I purge the line to remove the bubbles, nah, been on this for 8 loooong years,enough is...

I get my tslim September, I’m off to the hospital this Friday (1st July) to pick it, I wanted it earlier, but there are no reps to show me how to use it…..?

Hello Megan, why do you have to self fund if you’re a type1?

Hello Elena, I seem to have these a lot now, ups and down and very highs for long periods, Novo Nordisk still ignoring the situation, and haven’t bothered to answer me. There are problems with both items, as we all now know and a combination of the pair, is putting lives at risk. I too am...

Thanks for your reply, you say you have to fill your cartridges up, I take it, that’s from a bottle of insulin? With the Insight pump, they are pre-filled cartridges, once they are placed in the pump you then purge the pipes, I do this, but bubbles appear later? I had a pump like you, where...

It’s been a long time since I’ve been here, so hello again everyone, I think it was 1997! I’ve sadly been in the Insight pump for 8 long miserable years, it’s a pump I didn’t want, but that’s what I got, as all the others I wasn’t eligible for, or just did t like. Ever since it’s launch, I...
