Hey :) it's a veo :) panicing a little bit about having to change the infusion set if i have any issues with this 1 before my next appt... had a bit of an issue with my DSN when she was helping me put it in... the instructions told me counter clockwise however she was telling me clockwise... i...

Well we are hoping the pump will make a difference :) I was mainly wondering if anyone else was as awkward as me with these damned night time hypos :)

At 1 point the doctors put me on a transmitter thing that tested 24/7 for 4 days to try and figure a pattern, unfortunately non was found. The strange thing is ill go to bed at around 5 and have nothing to eat and ill be fine, but i potentially could be 8 and have something to eat and i would...
