Yeah the Mio seems hit and miss. They seem to be "miss" when I'm using the last one I have with me, but luckily I work in the community so I can nip home and pick up spares - not idea though. I find the tubing is a much softer plastic than my previous Accu-Chek setup and I wonder if it might...

So another week or so in, still great. One little niggle is I've found the Mio cannula can be a bit hit and miss as to how well it goes in, if at all. I've watched all the vids, know not to press to hard or pull out before the sticky has stuck, but twice now I've installed a new cannula, my BSL...

Yeah maybe. I'm on a 7 day trial of all the classes. I've done Thai before, albeit 20 years ago before diagnosed. I'm happy just doing this 2 nights a week. I can cope with that. Although I'm going to be sore tomorrow!

Oddly actrapid and apidra have the same sort of timescale as Novo rapid. 15 mins to start, and hour at peak and around 2 hours tailing off. Also oddly, just got back from the Thai class. Bsl is fine. No spike. Probably more cardio than the bjj class. I also have mountain biked for many years...

Did my first BJJ class last night. Checked my levels before I started, all good. Disconnected the pump and removed cannula but left the CGM in place. Forgot to silence the pump so it started beeping in class, quite a lot and it took a while for me to figure "oops, that's me!". Anyway, levels...

So a couple of weeks now. Now showing I'm 94% within range. Super stoked!!! And starting back at training on Weds and Thurs this week. Brazilian Jujitsu on Weds and Muay Thai on Thurs. Will be really interesting to see how this goes. Been advised to check before, keep some Gatorade type drink...

Hi! I've had a pump for 3+ years. I'm active, work in acute mental health setting, do mountain biking and have 2 small kids who love rough play. I've just switched to a new pump with CGM and last night I signed up for muay thai and brazilian jiu jitsu classes. I live in Australia and we're...

That's the thing, it was fully charged. The lights had stopped flashing. (I disconnected befote my dinner and put it on charge for about 30 mins). All working now, happy as a pig in.... Mud.

Well I managed to get it working. For some reason... I removed the transmitter, then re-added it. It wouldn't find it while it was in the charging dock, but I found that if I removed it and hit search on the pump, while the transmitter was flashing, it sync'd back up. Now showing 6 days left and...

Had an alert to say sensor not working properly, insert new sensor. I've done this but it didn't reset the 6 day warning and it still says I have 1 day left.. Can't find how to reset the 6 day timer? I stopped the previous one and it showed new sensor warming up and calibration. What have I done...

Hi Tim. I've not looked into this at all and it's hard to read on my phone.ill have a look at work in the morning, properly. Am. I right in thinking this helps deliver insulin rather than bolus, in a more natural way? As a lover of gadgets this appeals greatly. But, I'm less than a week into...

Hi Kitedoc Which health fund are you with? I was with HBF but they wouldn't fund a new pump initially. My nurse said switching funds would help so I jumped to Medibank - waiting fees waived and fairly smooth process. The thai boxing is for fun not a profession (I'm 42 - too old for that) but I...

So a little update. It's fair to say my control, even with my Spirit, was terrible. I'm 5 days into my 640g and CGM. Wow. First night I checked my pump. 7.2. But I felt low. A finger test showed me at 2.8. I thought that was odd, but I was paying more attention to the numbers, not the arrows...

Thanks for the tip! I guess that once the sensor has bent it's useless? Pump should arrive Thursday and the sensors a few days after. Reckon that will give me a couple of days getting used to the new pump before I fully switch to CGM. Had a horrible night with my levels yesterday - spiked to...

Flown heaps. Never had a problem. Australia to uk and back. 3 times. With young kids. Just remember you might be in a different time zone so adjust your pump and glucomer accordingly. And keep your Jelly Beans handy.

I'm waiting on my Medtronic to arrive at the endo centre and just set up subscription for the sensors etc. Just had a payrise which luckily, covers the $250 a month for the transmitter and sensors. I'm upgrading from the Spirit Combo which I've had for 3 years.

Worked out a few things and nearly got stung by some crafty marketing. Special introductory offers which actually weren't that cheap! Subscription service for transmitters and sensors mean it'll cost me $250 a month for a box of 5. Consumables are covered by NDSS which is local to Australia and...

Morning all. Been using the Accu-chek Spirit combo for three years. Lots less hypos but I'm at a bit of a low spot (burning out - 20 odd years of T1) and pretty bad at testing my levels at the moment. I do a couple of times a day, but not as often as I should. Anyway, my health insurance has...

Quite new to pumping. Still getting my head round it all. So far I'm changing the cannula every 2-3 days and the tubing changed every 2nd cannula. I'm just basic pumping so far, haven't got into multiwave yet. Is this fairly normal - ie, get used to carrying and standard wave pumping and...

Breaky - 3 eggs from my chooks, scrambled with a bit of bacon in, 3 slices of wholegrain toast and a black coffee.
