cool thank you so much :) just looked and increase is by 0.025 so going to try that now and see what happens :) am i right in thinking i should be able to tell immediately what effect it's had, ie tomorrow at 3am if ive gone through the floor i know i may need to decrease either 1 am or 2am? i...

I seem to be spamming this forum so i am really really really sorry!!! My DSN last week said she didnt need to see me for 2 weeks and inbetween appointments she wanted me to have a go at making my own adjustments on the pump... panic stations!!!! I used to be really good on MDI and could...

thanks ihs, unfortunately the link didnt work... im looking into maybe trying some different infusion sets however little worried about cost... i know i dont pay and the hospital does but feel guilty about going for something more expensive. i heard about the mio and was wonderinf what the...

When I was on MDI i changed the needle every time I started a new pen/cartridge... lancets... erm... ;) rarely... Im better than my dad... he used to use about 1 needle for every 2 or 3 months (4 injections a day) until he can no longer force it in and i dont think he's ever changed his...

ive just changed onto the silhouette infusion sets as a few of you maybe aware from my many previous posts i was having issues with quick set... well first question... when the nurse helped me insert in on thursday it was fine however soon started to feel tender and has been tender until this...

I'm not worried about it, just curious :) if it happens then it happens, although i think im lucky as i don't remember life when i wasnt diabetic and I grew up OK (although i DID rebel quite a lot but over that now). I found the sudden drop to 1% rather amusing, id love to know how that's...

just sat here thinkin as you do... saw dsn today and we were talking about pumps and how babies/young children now a days get put on them (my area anyway)... anyways as i said i was thinking (very dangerous i know) BUT I was told that there was a SLIGHTLY higher risk of my babies having t1...

just an update :) just seen my DSN and now trying the silhouette infusion set... i think i preferred the look of the quickset... the needle looks scary (not 1 for someone with a needle phobia) and the inserter looks even more scarier :lol:

LOL i really should know - I wouldnt say he has consistant symptoms ie a couple of weeks ago he was drinking a lot and toilet - he's had periods of being tired all the time, however that could be down to stress as he's been outta work (although starting new job in july) and occasions of being...

the high result was just a 1 off result, I believe he's done a couple of fasting ones over the last month and I've not been made aware of any other "high" results re the contaminent after the first highish result he washed his hands vigorously and retested. I think i will get him to get the...

As a type 1 diabetic I know what my sugars should be but I was curious to someone without diabetes :) I know someone who seems paranoid that they are going to get develop diabetes and I have told them not to worry but they do test their sugars every now and again, however today he has tested his...

Hi, unfortunately i can't say anything about the pump and being induced however with my 1st child 3 years ago I was put on a sliding scale immediately (well about 1 hour after my waters broke the day before i was supposed to be induced!!!) and the 2nd baby 6 months ago I had elective c-section...

Just been reading this thread and it looks like a few employers seem to have issues with diabetics... i never personally had issues with my employer with injecting however I was threatened with disaplinery for eating at my desk (my sugars were 1.8 at the time and i didnt want to risk walking...

Im using quicksets. I have a little fat around the front so im not sure why im having such an issue, after i had James 6 months ago i didnt loose all my baby fat :wink: although i dont know if it's a coincidence i have lost 1.5lb in just over a week since going on the pump, not intentional but...

My DSN did get in touch with them, she went ape when I spoke to her yesterday and had to chase it... Apparently there was some confusion in the details so they just put it to the side until someone contacted them (not too impressed with that but heyho) - i should be getting supplies next week :)...

Been on pump now for a week and it seems to be never ending issues (not entirely with the pump)... first infusion set change i somehow managed to mess up and go through 3 resevoirs and infusion sets... 2nd change i went through 2... changing again tomorrow and praying i can do it 1st go or im...

hi littlesue :) i pretty much just got the pink version of the pump, a pink case that goes through a belt and belt clip :) i was however given a carelink usb thingy which is awesome from my dsn without paying so it may be worth while asking about that... the contour link machine, if your...

Just wanted to thank you jopar and iHs :) finally got my sugars down to almost normal readings so I at least know im getting insulin through the pump again!!! I am giong to see if i can try some of the different cannulars. Still a bit wary but stopped the downright panicing now :) Sorry for...
