I did consider a make-up bag but as you can see from my avatar all i need to make my face up is eye liner lol

Yes, Medtronic 640g, i put my spares in a plastic tub. If i were you i would wait till you get hold of your pump and all of the supplies as then you would have a better idea of what you will need rather than buy something now and realise its either too big or small

Excellent bit of kit, i also have this pump. You will be taught everything you need to know about your pump with your nurse and company rep. The pump does come with a good printed manual, however prior to getting my pump i downloaded the manual to familiarise myself with it and generate...

I hope you went back for your meter and test strips? 20 miles is nothing. If I'd had left mine lets say visiting my daughters which is a 2 hr drive i wouldn't have bothered if i was returning home that night but would be very very uncomfortable. If it was an overnight stay then i would pop into...

As above. I get a red rash around my ankles but thats in the summer when i can get rather warm and sweaty whilst wearing boots for work. If i had posted that without any of the information given as i have i could quite possibly been given some poor albeit innocent advice leaving me worried...

It's a service available to those that need it or want it. You coud also say the same about the EPS, i tried it ut it failed on a number of occasions simply because my prescription includes lancets abd when it did go into the system it got lost there. I collect my paper prescription from the...

If you don't ask her out then i will! The thing is that i will be rejected and quite rightly so. Do you celebrate St Valentines day where you come from/live? If yes, send her an early St valentines day card and write in it, " If you can't be my Valentine Please still be my Good Friend"...
