I've only recently got my pump. My DSN advised that if i was coming off my pump to calculate the previous days total insulin, add 20% then half it to get your levemir dose. Hope this helps

Good luck to you both!

Afternoon all :) I now have a Medtronic Veo pump and I'm looking to get it insured. I was just wondering what companies you've all used for your insurance and your personal experience with any claims you've made? I have Google'd pump insurance nut there's a vast array of providers and quotes...

Aw thank you! I start on insulin next Monday, have to fill out a food diary with my insulin doses fri-sun and take that along with me on Monday. You've had amazing results :) I'm hopeful that the pump will improve my Hba1c too as I have dawn phenomenon and I'm insulin resistant until around...

I queried the 640g and the DSN said that I'll get that from Medtronic with my upgrade...

They haven't given me a reason or a choice @tim2000s I was told my clinic offered both animas and Medtronic, I was always leaning towards Medtronic but I thought it would've been the 640g with smart guard

Lol! What are yous doing to the house? We're all good Thanks, although I'm a man down today, have a dreaded sickness bug :( xx

There's going to be 5 of us training at the same time, a week on Monday coming. We all have the same pump, Medtronic Veo

Thanks so much Love! Hope you're well? x x

It's literally only been 4 weeks since my consultant said he would apply for funding. However, I'm really lucky in that someone else has dropped out of the trail and changed their mind about getting a pump so I now have their space. It's a Medtronic pump I have been given but it isn't the 640g...

Thank you so much @vic hill. I'm really excited to get the real thing, cannot wait to be a pump user in a few weeks! I know it'll be a tricky few weeks until I get all my ratios correct and get used to the pump but I know it'll have a positive impact on my diabetes control :)

Yes I imagine that it'll be very much like when you are first diagnosed and you think about testing an injecting constantly but then it becomes second nature. Well I haven't actually picked a pump yet, we've kind of skipped that step as this appointment is a cancellation. However, they're going...

Thank you @azure :) I'm so lucky as my process of having funding applied for and now having a trial of a pump has been really quick. I'm looking forward to it

Hi everyone :) I received a phone call today to advise the pump clinic have a cancellation tomorrow for me to try wearing a pump for a few days with water in it. All being well, I will go back on Monday June 26th and be fitted with the real pump. I'll have training on the Monday, and half day...

Hi @JacquiMorrison Your post really made me smile. I often used to compare my BG readings to those I seen on the forum and also wondered if they eat [emoji23] Now I'm following a low carb eating regime; no bread, pasta, potatoes, rice etc. No sweets or crisps, chocolate with only 70% cocoa...

Thank you for your reply @paulliljeros :) I'll have a look online for pumping insulin, seems like it'd be helpful in helping me choose which pump is best for me. I always take my meter to the appointments with me, that way my Clinic can upload all of my readings Is it pumping insulin by Ruth...
