Same... I love my pump; I also use steel sets and love them too... [emoji177]

I have this pump and love it... I think @irrationalJohn gives a good summary; and yes the sensors can be erratic, but I'd still not be without them in spite of their 'quirks'... For me this pump has been completely life changing and has given me freedom and peace of mind that I didn't have /...

Ah yes -- sure rescue remedy has all sorts of goodness in it too! :) glad the cavilon also seems to be helping :)

Have a great holiday! :-)

I use infusion sets so the surface area of site irritation on mine is much smaller than yours, but I get similar to this. LBF barrier wipes sometimes help, as does iv300 tape (though ironically I will start to develop a rash with both of those if I use then consistently!) -- but one thing that...

That's really interesting - I wasn't told that but it definitely makes sense! I rarely have more than 6u at one time -- but will remember this if I do - thanks @noblehead! :-)

Thanks Cheryl! That makes sense/ties in with my experinces :)

I found I was reacting to the teflon in both the angled and "normal' 90 degree sets -- which meant I could barely get past 36hrs without the sets being so sore and itchy that I had to change them.... now on steel sets and WAY better -- even though they do sometimes still hit "funny bits" *and*...

Woop! Happy you're up and running Spicey245! :)

I was given a choice but chomped at the bit for the 640g! Don't regret my choice one tiny bit! [emoji4]

... Just to let you know there's almost no difference whatsoever in size between the 180 unit 640g and the 300 unit one... I didn't need anything like the 300 unit reservoir so was going to wait til they got the 180 unit one in stock (I got my pump in June and they said the smaller unit one...

Oooo... Is that what happens if you reduce your insulin?? I didn't know that! I always reduce my insulin when doing any exercise...

Same -- still trying to get sets to work in my bum as at the moment only my tum seems to work with any certainty...

Riri this was my first thought to Sues question too... The 7-10 days before my period I have to start increasing basal -- +20% up to +50% the last 2/3 days before! I also have to increase my insulin to carb ratio - they go from 1:12 to 1:8. Then 2 days in they all fall right back again...

Gosh -- will you be on saline all that time...? Very exciting to have it up and running though! :-)

Woop! Exciting!! Keep us posted...! :-)

Yay! :-)

I love love love mine! I was nervous too (think that's normal) but it's been nothing but a total godsend -- the flexibility you have with a pump is amazing: I literally feel like someone said: here's your life back! :-) As for comfort / getting in the way... Naturally there's a degree of having...

Hey Daniel :) ... In theory, yes -- but that largely depends on how proactive you are with your pump... The reason it can reduce hypos is because you can adjust your basal (background) insulin so easily to suit your needs at different times of the day -- but that comes with lots of tweaking that...

Is it made differently to the Silhouettes then...? I get good absorption from Sils, but they hurt / leave marks in me...
