thank you it was diasend. This forum is so good for help. thanks folks I don't need any more answers.:);)

I would advise that you phone your hospital and ask for the diabetic nurses and speak directly to them. This is urgent so please don't wait and let us know all is well. They will advise and will probably want to see you and look at insulin. They have far more knowledge about diabetes than...

When I was a clinic today they wanted me to download program on:)to my computer where they can see my readings - I think for my pump but could have been blood sugars. I have the clinic code but I didn't write down the name of the program and I cant remember. Can anyone help if they use it. Thanks.

i have found on the animas vibe that there are 2 ways to slow the pressure on the pump so that it does not give as much at a time or as fast. I used to have problems with it hurting and leaking insulin but I do not know. Why not ring your help desk and find out if you can do this for your pump...

wecome to the forum. I don't know of any specialis clithes- I just clip my pump ont my costume. But I am confident and just figure if people are curious they will ask. There is only 1 pump which is waterproof so I guess they have or are having an anuas vibe. Most people just take the pump off...

when in doubt just change it. i had lots of problems with the inset 2 due to them being so short- a slight pull would cause problems and I had occasions when the sticky still looked perfect but the cannula was no longer inside me. I changed to inset 30 which I was not so keen on at trial but...

don't forget that when you are ill, absorption is not as good and also when you are high so that you do need extra insulin to achieve the same response. I was advised if ii was over 20 to do it by injection as going in deeper means better response. when you are ill you could need to run at 200%...

thanks - just not sure what to set it as? any ideas ?

I started on my pump on porcine neutral and they did agree. I would try for this first as it is hard to change back. I have just done it on my own and am just going to tell them next time I see them. I know it wont go down too well but my consultant retired.

I now have it set up in my pump but I am unsure what to set the duration as. some sites say 2-5, another 6-8. someone told e 6.5. is anyone using this in their pump and what do you have the activity length- duration set as please.

hi I cannot find where to check the insulin duration on the vibe- can anyone help please

I have gained 4 stone in 2 years using analogue and human as for some it can cause water retention etc. this does not happen on the porcine and have love hypo warning signs on the porcine too. Habe just plugged it in after getting my prescription- can feel the tail growing already lol I feel...

I jut use my blood test machine to check my drinks- a small drip on finger works well instead of blood

a simple night check is just to put your hand into the small of the back. If it is very sweaty then they are low.

Hi my son is autistic but not diabetic- I am the diabetic. However with my son no matter what it was he just responded well to being given the facts and not being protected. He always knew when I wasn't truthful. I struggled to get a diagnosis for him- he was actually 14 although I knew from a...

I seem to remember from 2 years ago that the duration was not long enough so just had to be set to the longest it had.

Hi I started on my pump - animed vibe on hypurin porcine. They persuaded me to use apidra - against my better judgement I tried it. Now 2 years later I am 4 stone heavier again. So I am going to demand to go back on the porcine. However no one wants to help and my consultant retired and...

I was snet this by a nurse friend. Thought people should see and this was the best place http://www.itv.com/news/update/2014-12-17/faulty-insulin-pens-recalled/

I have been on injections for 40 odd years and also had a pump about 18 months ago. I didn't have a choice but it is fantastic. I have an animas vibe which is waterproof so can go in bath swimming doesn't matter - no risk of harm. It is simple to use. it has the option of cgm but I don't...

no protocol- i have thrown the insulin bottle away that i used this morning and resited and used new insulin tonight - went for my arm and also injected large bolus and am up to 100% and have finally got it to start to come down. But thanks for advice- glad it did it right. they said to check...
