wow, my samples have arrived already :shock: amazing service. needle looks rather ummm LONG! :crazy: but need a set change tomorrow so will give it a go!

I'm Type 1 and on a pump. I had my over night basals set right so I'd go to bed around 6 and wake up 5/6mmol. However, since going low carb over the last 5 or so days (just started) my basals are fine in the day but three mornings I have woken up with a 3.0 , 3.2 and today 2.4 and really felt...

I've never minded getting my pump out... I like it to fiddle with it :lol:

Thanks. I am glad you have had a good experience and have the pump you want. Such a lot per month though ...

I haven't ordered the inset 30 samples, I am going to perhaps try them another time, I'm not sure about them. I just ripped my site out running up the stairs. Had to stick a new one in and it always takes me 5 mins or so to actually fire it in. Let me know how you get on too.

Have just spoken to a lovely lady at Animas who is going to post me out some 9mm sets to try. She also told me Animas 2020s are £2500 and the Vibe £2,800, so that answers my question in another thread.

Thanks. Only new to this. I'm Type 1 and on a pump and think my basals need tweaking. Can my body be pumping out extra glucose by eating low carb? Off shopping tomorrow to stock up on supplies. I'm not feeling too bad today.

Re: How do i help my Type 1 boyfriend want to look after him I abused myself for ages and didn't care. One day I decided to care... slipped again and now back on track. It happens and I think as he gets older he will keep being on track. Sorry, no real advice but it's great you care so much.

I feel like I've got backwards with this Accu Chek Combo. I HATE how long it takes to 'talk' between remote and pump. I REALLY do not want a remote. :(

The Animas is what I want. I really liked my old Animas pump. I agree with their customer care. What is on your wish list? I have never looked at any other pump, just have my heart set on an Animas.

Thankyou :) Got three years left then.................................... What pump do you have CarbsRok ?

I have heard 4 years too but think the count down on my old pump was 6 years

On my first pump, the Accu Chek Spirit, it used to say how many days until it needed replacing. This new pump of mine, well, it's a year old Spirit Combo doesn't have this. Does anyone know how long you have to have them until it can be replaced? I am assuming another 5 long years...

Thanks. Last time they knocked off £225, can't remember why, assuming it was the VAT. I'm swapping hospitals because I am not happy with the care at Warwick. I want to go to Coventry and then when this pump runs out, hopefully I will be given a choice!

Can I ask you how much you paid for your insulin pump please and did they take the VAT off?

Anyone on here self funded? please can you drop me a PM if you are. Thanks in advance :)

thanks. the bacon and eggs is working well at the moment, no spikes.

Only just started and don't think I'm eating enough. I don't feel hungry really just a bit strange, I don't know! Think I am just used to eating lots of carbs! Just worry it's not healthy but got to be better than all the chocolate I used to eat! :D Thanks for your reply.

Do you eventually stop feeling hungry? Should I eat lots of not carb foods at each meal to feel 'fuller'? Actually, I'm not sure if I feel hungry, I don't feel tired like I do on loads of carbs but I feel hollow for want of a better word. I guess takes time for your body to adjust?

Happy New Year :D
