Yes, mine did it for me earlier today. I don't think you can wait too long though as I tried again and it didn't/

Hi I am used to a pump where by I'd test on a normal meter. Then, I'd go see what I wanted to eat and enter the BG into the pump along with the carbs. I like to see where I am at number wise before I decide what to eat. I don't plan ahead so with this combo I have to test and work out the...

Blimey, I thought there would be a way. That's quite complex but good thinking. I shall bring this up at the meeting I have with the pump lady because I think it's rubbish they haven't thought of it!!! :evil: It would be much easier if you could enter a manual BG like on other pumps.

I am just wondering if you can do something with a spirit combo and if so, how is it done. I took my blood sugar a half hour ago. It was 6.4. I wanted to see where I was at before I decided what I wanted to eat. I went into the kitchen and decided on a sandwich. I have fresh baked bread so...

May 2001 was really hot. I was at work at kept being thirsty, was at school too. I just couldn't stop drinking and peeing. In the end my Mum said I should see the Doc so we went. I had started throwing up and couldn't stay awake. I felt so bad. I lost 2 stone. I got diagnosed in the June. I...

This pump is just rubbish. Test your sugar on the 'remote' then takes AGES to connect to the pump, sometimes it doesn't at all. I want to know what to bolus NOW not 5 mins later :evil: Why couldn't Accu Chek stick a bolus calculator on the pump? I don't like the pump but would improve it! I...

have used the same set and needle size with both pumps. nothing different except the pump.

when i was on the spirit for 6 months back in 2005 i used to get 'gushers'... or just when i removed the set it would bleed, not all gushers. the sets would last about 2 days before getting sore and no insulin going in. i now have the spirit again and it's happening again. i have bruises/bumps...

sorry guys, just having a rant, yes i'm lucky to have it.

I hate this accu check pump. I was first given one in 2005 and I hated it then so I bought an Animas which I loved and got on with. I was due a new pump and they've landed me with this spirit combo now which is so out of date I feel like i've got back in time. The remote is in a drawer, don't...

Is there a basic low carb menu anywhere I can follow? I don't like alot of foods :( and I'm not great at cooking so easy to make foods too. Thanks

Thanks Guys. Had a closer look and it's not a hole. But it's a bit red under the hard skin :?: We have a walk in centre and will make my way down as soon as my BF finishes work. Yes, I have ketones although have my sugars down to 10mmol at the mo. I will also be telling my Manager, I have...

I have got a bit of hard skin under my big toe. I've had to wear safety shoes at work for the last 3 weeks. Anyway, these have been making that bit of my toe hurt. This week it's also been hurting in my usual shoes on and off. Just stood on it in the shower and it hurt so looked at it and...

I love this stuff, is it good or bad for your sugar? I mean does it raise it quick? are there lots of carbs in it? Thanks 8)

Re: Flu jab 2010. This is what worrys me.

hmm that's interesting. thanks for that. so best to avoid people talking on blue tooth in their cars etc when i need to use my pump :roll: :lol:

sorry i can't advise, wish i could but dont want you to think you're being ignored. NICE have guidelines I think, maybe google their website it may tell you.

Re: Flu jab 2010. OK, I assume it was the jab. I hate it and felt sick afterwards for a few days with a headache that wouldn't shift, just felt yuck and said I wouldn't have another for a while. I am not keen on getting one for swine flu too, just normal flu if they do them.

diabetes is a nightmare!

Thankyou Sam.
