So you can tell insulin on board etc without remote. BG wizard etc?

My mistake. This is what the nurse told me

I've seen the insight and don't really like it. Its tied heavily to the Meter. The 640 isn't but has the option to use the Meter if you wish. The insight cannot be fully controlled without the remote. Which for me is no good.

I had a look at the insight, but didn't personally like the tie up with the remote. Not for me anyway The new Medtronic looks interesting

I considered the Roche, but its very reliant on the remote. I have the Animas and am considering the Medtronic 640g Also you can only get the cartridges with Novo rapid

Well I had a replacement and my warranty expires march 2014?

I now call mine the brick, since Animas recalled all 2020 Pumps ang gave me a Vibe which feels like a Brick

If I remember your hba1c needs to be above 7 consistently for you to be considered for a pump along with frequent hypos, that was the case for me anyway This figure may be slightly out although you really need some regular monitoring..

I do know lager, cider etc has a lot of carbs.. Red wine doesn't have any, so these alone would make a big difference. I currently stick to wine but love cider. Spirits are usually low in carbs.

I tend to do a combo bolus, extended through the night. I seem to go high for some reason. But this doesn't always work. It's very hit and miss. Do you eat differently when you are out drinking? Gary

Excellent news, which pump are you using. Gary

4hours is about right for actrapid.

Just don't panic, it takes a while to get it right. It's worth the effort though. Good luck and let us know how you get on Gary

Maybe a bigger start bolus would have worked. Still it's a good end result!

That's a lot of carbs, have you tried a long combo to keep the levels down during the night. I think it takes the body a while to burn pizzas etc

Well pump arrived Tuesday It is faulty, screeching on rewind etc...DSN said it didn't sound right. Spent another hour on the phone to technical to sort another The rep didn't help much he said ring the uk number which I did, they could not do anything about it Although the u.s people are really...

Got through to Animas.....a new pump will be here Wednesday :D

Gonna try and ring again tomorrow.

I also get this pump not primed message quite often,it is getting quite noisy too. I could not get through to support before Christmas.

My latest was 7.4, which I am quite pleased with as I have had a lot of highs. I am going to keep trying to get it lower though
