Ah yes, I know tubeless appeals to many :-) ... I actually think I find the tubed more discreet / more options with how to wear it... I got a sample and wore it and I didn't like the idea of it being fixed in one place and being so visible... But may be a girl thing ;-) ... I notice you don't...

Good.... Thank you @himtoo! I was given two sets to try and *definitely* prefer the silhouettes!! Despite nearly having a fit when I saw the needle.... ;-) Do you know what which pumps you might be offered / go for after your apt in July?

Hahahahahahahahahaha!!!! I wanted a pink fronted one but they said it would take longer [emoji23][emoji23]

Honestly; 'only D's know' :D ... My friends and family are adorably lovely and they're happy cos I'm so happy... But I know they don't *really* get why I'm just so bonkers happy...!! That's why I *love* this forum... :-) [emoji173]️

Will do my best!! [emoji4][emoji4][emoji4]

Ah bless you, thank you!! I didn't get my CGM today but kinda expected that as I knew I was doing a weeks saline start-up; I asked and I will definitely get them at my 'go live' appointment next Tuesday... Sooooo exciting! :D

Hi @buckley8219 -- they definitely are extendable, I've seen people posting on facebook forums about it (T1-CGM information if you're on there). I think there's just not a lot out there as they're new... Plus I do think it's perhaps fiddlier than Dexcom, but it's def possible... Also, my rep...

Oh my goodness me!! My brain is completely fried but I am SO HAPPY!!! I knew a pump would be life changing, but until she started taking about all the features and all the ways it could adapt to what you want to do, when you want to do it, I didn't realize how much!! I had to hold back from...

It's today. It's today. It's TOOOODAAAAAAAYYY!!!! [emoji2]

I'm getting the 640g and new Enlites TODAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY (ahem, sorry, little excited) so can try and report back on this if that helps...? Although, never had a pump or Cgm before so might not be the best person to be fiddling with them... But I'm happy to try :)

Is he on insulin...? I'm a little confused I think... How did he get his numbers back into range? What made them diagnose him type 1? If he's on insulin does he carb count? Asking questions so we can help more :)

.... My hospital said to bring a significant other / supportive person to help you remember everything, if you have one... I don't think that extended to my cats though so I'll just go by myself... ;-)

Ah -- that's much better! Fingers crossed...! I have temporary funding because of living alone so it's definitely complete rubbish that they said to you no one does... I'll keep my fingers crossed for you for tomorrow :-)

Ooo... Honestly I don't know why the saline start... I thought it was just standard procedure...? I know it is in my hospital -- maybe they had a high incidence of people ripping them out and want to be sure I won't before it goes 'live'?? :D

Yes -- that's pretty encapsulates it perfectly -- spot on! Thank you... It's so lovely to come on here and have the support of people who 'get it' -- quirkiness of excitement about technology being strapped to you 'n all!! :-)

What a horrible thing to say to you! :-/

Thank you! [emoji5]️

Thank you!! It's like it's Christmas Day tomorrow -- with that slight nervous anticipation of what if you don't like your presents...! :D

... Slightly apprehensive... And aware this may be my last tangle free nights sleep for a while... But mostly excited! It's a saline start for a week... Don't really know what to expect about how it will feel being attached to something... So much anticipation -- but only a day till I start to...

I'm sorry to hear the pump didn't work for you @Spiker -- but happy you feel happier with it off... And as you say, it doesn't have to be forever; you've options now -- which is also a positive :-) Good luck going forwards... I have my 1st pump tomorrow...! Will be interesting...
