Thanks himtoo, the pump is completely unresponsive. I have managed to find an old basal setting from an old spreadsheet. It's 15, although I think the DSN, increased it slightly. Medtronic are hopefully getting a pump to me tomorrow, although not the 640, that will be delivered later in the...

Hi, this evening Medtronic pump started to alarm and completely stopped. Being a Friday evening, I can't get advice from my DSN. I keep pens as a back up, after being on a pump for 4+years, I'm struggling to remember the basal amount. I have been giving myself small injections, BG now at 19. Has...

Thanks for your reply, I allow pretty much the same for a similar lunch. The pump calculates any active insulin still going on and will adjust, my Monitor is linked to the pump, if I'm above target it will adjust the dose. I probably underestimate the carbs when I'm eating out, fear of going...
