I was surprised as last time I spoke to my nurse (January( she said the Insight would be better than the Animas pump for me??! Will have a look on Internet tonight. These are the 2 pumps I have the choice of upgrading too, the vibe was not mentioned. I have downloaded the mysugr logbook as lost...

Just spoke to my nurse, she has said that the Insight pump is good in a lot of ways but frustrating in others, has said to look at the Animas pump too. Asked her about the meter that goes with this pump, she said it's not worth getting as I'm getting my upgrade in June & wait til then as will...

Hi. Have just spoken to Accu chek - they said they would only send one out of my nurse rang/emailed to say that the NHS would fund it. Will try my nurse again today & see what she thinks

Ok thanks, I will give Accu chek a ring tomorrow

Currently use the Accu chek mobile cassette meter.

I know there is 1 available - £120, I'm due for an upgrade in June. The expert meter is that best to look online to get that?

Have looked through manual, cannot find it. After testing today for basal rate (5 hours) will need to make adjustments. Going to test tomorrow too

Hi. I have only got the Accu chek spirit combo pump, don't have the meter with it

No haven't got a bolus calculator on pump. I find cabbage doesn't affect my blood sugars but carrots do, if they are the only thing I have to count for never give more than 2 units & that's always been ok

Ok thanks, will do today. Remember my nurse saying whenever doing basal testing always do it on a quiet day?! But then like you say however will you know what is going on. Sorry for my ignorance on it

Sorry for late reply. It was plain roast chicken, boiled carrots & cabbage, gave 1.5 as thought that would be enough to cover it, did a BM at about 8- 14, so changed site, gave 2 units, did another BM at 10.45 pm - 10.7, so coming down slowly Donnellysdogs - I am due to upgrade to insight pump...

My insulin to carb ratio is 1 unit for every 10 grams of carbs. This has been ok for me example - porridge, burgen bread Other stuff I weigh & look in my nutritional book

Donnellysdogs- just read your previous post again, yes see the difference in rise. Is that on yur computer or phone that log you've got going

Hi, sorry, I tested 5 minutes after getting out of bed. Feel ok about changing basal rates,was hoping to start tonight but now having that high not possible

Hi. Well had tea at 6, had chicken, cabbage & carrots (no gravy) bolused 1.5 units for it as at 5pm BM-6 Now 7.15 pm - BM- 13.7 just bolused 1.5 units to get it down

Yes thanks. I looked through my basal as I was reading it & remembered when I make adjustments to remember it's 0.00 We are having a roast chicken for tea tonight, with cabbage & carrots

Yes have looked at it a few times already to have a read through,I will print it off

Just had a look at this. That's given me alot more information on it

Yes going to have chicken tonight with veg or salad. I was told by my pump nurse I could basal test 2 hours after eating as long as BM was in the right range (4-9) I will start tonight then, will see how bm is later on tonight. Thanks ☺

Yes ok thanks Sorry I appreciate all the help & advice. Will basal test on Tuesday, as lambing tomorrow. Will have toast or porridge for breakfast now to hopefully keep things level
