Interesting topic - like others have said incl @Snapsy - different feelings sometimes with different numbers. My lowest was in Jan - 1.6 which had plummeted down v fast. Was still able to grab some juice & gulp it down but felt horrid. At other times a 3.3 has felt horrid & I've been shaky &...

As others have said the basal needs adjusting. Mine went from 24 units on MDI to 16 now on the pump. Do hope your DSN can help you ASAP. Stick with it [emoji106]

Sorry to hear that @LauraR88. Hope things improve - so stuck with it as it'll be sooooo worth it. Which pump r u on? Do u have plenty of support from DSN this week?

Hi @LauraR88 - which pump are you getting? It is v exciting. Hope all goes well [emoji106]

Sorry to hear that @Chloesnavy - hope you're able to get a cancellation appmt. Hope you're soon feeling much better.

Wow @Dodo that is scary! [emoji2]

Hi @Peppergirl - I agree with what others have posted. My HBA1C wasn't too bad & I got a pump last April. My HBA1C is now lower & I have far fewer hypos. Good luck.

Hi @Rnr1975 - I have an insurance policy for mine. Insurance 4 insulin pumps. It was recommended to me on the pump course. I swim twice a week & also just unclip it & pop in locker - no probs. Hope all goes well.

Thanks @Gaz-M - Roche were excellent & are sending me one today. My DSN has given me the expert meter today which is also greatly reassuring. Roche had said if she didn't have 1 they'd send me 1. Really efficient all round [emoji106]. Thanks

Well done @Jamesuk9 on your lchf success. Good luck with all the tests - I'm sure all will be fine. [emoji106]

Thanks @fozzie84 - but this is the longest it's done this for & nothing's working. Ringing Roche shortly. Thanks [emoji106]

Hi @Gaz-M - thank you, that's reassuring that it was fairly quick. No I don't have a spare Accu Chek expert meter - should I have? I will email my DSN now as she is pretty good at checking emails and ring Roche first thing! Thanks for your reply.

Hi - has anyone had the E57 error pop up repeatedly on the Insight handset? I think I've tried turning it off & on 20 times now. Manually did my dinner insulin & found an old meter. I've checked the manual & taken out the battery as suggested, still to no avail! Has anyone had any experience of...

Hi @u1167189 - Great news about the pump. I think the Insight is fab. My hba1c has improved & I have far less hypos. I agree about the book 'pumping insulin' . Good luck & keep us posted.

Agree with @catapillar - best way really is finger pricking every 2 hours & prob best to fine tune it more once on the pump. Hope all goes well.

Hi @London36_ - how did you get on? I don't have a magic formula as such but since getting the pump I've had fish n chips 3x. I had a small cod & around 1/2 portion small chips. I assumed 35g cho each time & luckily my sugars have been in range afterwards. That may not work for you but that's...

Funky pumpers & Hid-in are v gd. The body bent from Hid-in is fab. [emoji106]

Sorry to confuse you @Claire007 - having one of those days! Hope all ok with pump [emoji106]

Sorry guys - I misunderstood earlier. I was thinking about the little cannula that you attach wth the link assist. I do this every 2-3 days without fiddling with tubing & just click it back in. I agree if you're changing whole thing you need to fill. Doh [emoji51][emoji51]

Hi @Claire007 - if it's the cannula only you just change it & clip it back in without telling the pump anything. If you're changing the whole infusion set you would need to fill it. Hope that makes sense. You know when you question yourself - that's tight isn't it @Snapsy? [emoji51] Hope that's...
