Hey! That happened to me just a few weeks ago - I had to start Toujeo (Glargin), and my doctor advised me to take what I see to as total daily insulin (I used to take 12 as basal and 2 as bolus, so I started with 14). But I had to adjust, now I'm taking 22. Which basal insulin do you have?

Ok, thats good! When o called Medtronic to explain to me how the pump works they told my that the batteries last 4-5 days only, and that sucks. But thanks a lot for replying, it's awesome to see how it works in real life :)

Hmmm I see. I think I'm gonna call Medtronic and ask them it give it a try with the 640G before doing anything so I can check this kind of things Thanks for the advice :)

That's great! What about batteries? Do you use a specific super powered one or the a normal one? How long does it usually lasts?

Oh good, that's comforting :) I use about 1,8mL for 6 days approximately.

Hey! :) I'm thinking about changing my current pump to 640G but I was wondering if it's too tiring to keep changing the hole reservoir every three days - is it? I mean, I travel a lot so I wonder if it gives too much trouble.

Hi @lely! I see. Maybe we were the "lucky ones" that received bugged pumps :( I hope they change your as soon as possible because going back to MDI sucks at so many levels right? Sending hugs to you!

Hey @Snapsy! Thanks for sharing! I'm really disappointed because they still haven't given me any answers :( But I'm gonna call them today again and check it out. Big hugs to you! :)

Ooh sure!! I didn't saw that! Thank :)

Hey everyone, I use the insulin pump from Accu Chek - Spirit Combo for about 2,5 years and I already had to change it once because of problems regarding the batteries (it kept turning off). That happened one year ago. Now, since last week, I'm having the same problem and I even had to return on...

Hey @alphabeta I'm a type 1 and I usually check my blood sugar 8 - 10 times a day. It's quite a lot but I like to make sure I'm not hypoing and all :)

That's awesome advice! I usually try to eat always some fat as well, like olive oil on my eggs in the morning and at the salad during lunch and it works great. I love avocado, so I'll try your ideia as well thanks! For these big portions of meat, I thought they were harmless, but either I'm...

Hmmmmm interesting. I'm gonna pay more attention to It (eating more fat and protein) and try to use the multiwave bolus! Really? I thought that avocado was a low carb fruit :( Oh well, but thanks for the advice, I appreciate it [emoji4] [emoji4] Sent from my XT1033 using Diabetes.co.uk Forum...

That was a great advice, thanks! And yes, it was very difficult to eat two hamburgers but they were so tasty hahaha I'm gonna try to stick with the same amount of protein as well, it's a lot safer. Thanks a lot :)) Sent from my XT1033 using Diabetes.co.uk Forum mobile app

I only had 0,4ui of novoRapid, because usually I don't take more than that for my meals - but in this case I had the double of meat, so taking more insulin makes sense. And to figure it out how much protein increases my BS do you have any advice? :) Sent from my XT1033 using Diabetes.co.uk...

Hello everyone! I'm a type 1 following low carb diet and physical exercise everyday. But Friday I ate more meat than usual (2 hamburgers, only with salad and guacamole) and my glycemia went from 4 (pre meal), to 6 (after 2h, and I had 0,3u of novorrapid) to 17 during the night and all morning...

Usually 10g of carbs for me rise 45-50 mg/DL but it depends on the time of day - in the morning I get more sensitive to carbs then in the late afternoon (8g x 12g or something like that). You can try out some foods because there's also the difference between the body's absorption to the kind of...

Hey! How are you? Are you having difficulties in find out the proportion of carbs to match the bolus? Or knowing how much will it raise our BS? Sent from my XT1033 using Diabetes.co.uk Forum mobile app
