I have quite a high basal rate 43u a day more than half pre-pump days and bolus between 30-40 a day so I'll be changing very often I'm afraid, unless I totally scrutinise everything from my insulin resistance to diet which is what I'm planning to do on the 11 March to get myself in tip-top...

I can imagine that is a bit frustrating having to change something everyday especially for a working girl like yourself, I'm not working so it'll keep me on my toes and make me realise that this tiny machine is basically keeping me healthy so for me it'll be a small price to pay, plus I never...

Totally agree I'm going for the prefill cartridge system on this one so hopefully this will this problem. If everything goes well, I'll get the actual pump mid-June :-)

I've just had my training day for the dummy pump booked for March 11th (Insight) so excited I just hope I can visually read remote and pump did have problems with Combo especially loading syringe/cartridge a couple of years ago so had to stick to a basic pump, donnellydogs said it's much better...

Just don't know what to say the health service certainly hold all the cards with our health an emotions

If a pump develops a fault and you have had it for 3 years they normally send a replacement with 1 years warranty on it, and normally they do this by checking the days left on the countdown timer on the pump, totally agree with you CarbsRok :-)

Hate to say I keep my meter in the bog standard black case it came in ( very boring I know) and the pens are just the disposable ones as I'm on a pump and use a pen rarely, I keep saying I must bling my things ! Even though I am a bloke it does look nice, was it papercase or paperchase as the...

Oh as your now a loyal customer to a pump company it won't hurt to give them a call yourself, I don't kno about other people I order most things from the company and deal directly with them, there might be a slight glitch somewhere

Just don't panic the phrase " a watched kettle never boils" it will arrive normally by parcel force special delivery and boy oh boy there well worth the wait :-) :-)

I'm sure you'll manage :-)

Awe inspiring Jimmy Mac I'm impressed my friend :-)

I us Tenderlink 17/110mm on my pump with the old pump I'm on but the new insight pump I'm changing to in June accu-CHEK do a shorter tube length of 100 mm, the reason I use a longer needle is the opposite to donnellydogs I've got a bit of extra weight around my tum plus I've always used long...

Yep I have I've fallen for all the friends on this forum who give me wise words and info, something that's worth a million pounds over and over

Keep us all posted, what times your appointment ?

Best of British to you

Thanks CarbsRok I'm using D-Tron plus I've always wondered but I've always taken the battery out about 10 days before the countdown ends I've got a couple of old pumps like this somewhere lying around and my current one ends apx 16th July.

You'll be absolutely fine:-)

I think it's been mentioned that pumps do carry on after their life time days on their timers, If so if this true? And how much longer for as people use them for back up ? Do they just take the battery out to stop it or do they have a alternative back up power chip that keeps them counting...

Hi Spiker, totally agree with Chas C it seems a common type 1 trait, talk to someone, believe me I've spoken to a lot of people over the years for issues I've had, talking is a brilliant way of resolving issues and other people's opinions often help and you've got an abundance of wealth of...

You might get some slight discomfort but the drops they use to ease any are good, you shouldn't drive for a good few hours, I always left it to the next day. If this is your first laser I very much doubt you'd have to give up completely, i had type 1 38 yrs before I was told not to drive any...
