    Help please??

    may i ask why you need to change your set if you have bubbles? can't you just disconnect and then prime your pump to remove bubbles? i don't seem to have a problem with them, or if i do i never notice them.

    Accu Chek Spirit Combo

    I went to Birmingham to meet the people designing it a few years back. I helped answer lots of questions. It does sound good. I am currently on the Animas and did have the spirit. Do the basal incriments still go up in 0.1's and not lower like the animas? Don't think it matters but just...

    Insulin pump procedure

    i also don't know HOW you can say high carb DOESN'T work?! I have a fair about of carbs on a daily basis. I've had Hba1cs as of 4.6% 5.0% 5.2% & 5.6% i'd say it CAN work if you do it right, so you don't have to starve to get normal sugars! which i for one think is good news :mrgreen:
