Hey LittleSue hope you got on ok last night :) i was originally put on 1u/10carbs too :) I was torn between the pink or purple... pink won though :D

Yay!!! Good luck with it :)

Hi iHs :) well i have had a dodgy batch of infusion sets, spoke to medtronic this morning who told me they didnt sound to be right so getting some replacements :) I was due to change the infusion set today so didnt bother testing it before I took it out :) Just going to feed my little man his...

Usually i test about 6/7 am and getting goodish readings of about 6... dont normally have brekky until about 8/9 and when i test again at this stage i can pretty much guarantee it has gone up... usually around 8 but has occasionally gone to 10... When i got home from the post office I was...

with 2 young kids... coming down with something is a distinct possibility :D all though in all honesty I better not be :) im going back to work next week and even though I've had 9 months off I can't afford any time off sick, was on level 3 sick before I left and I still need another 3 months...

wow... got up this morning with a slightly high reading of 8, didnt eat brekky, nipped out to the shops, got back feeling a bit icky (not unusual for some reason im always feeling a bt sick nowadays) tested my sugar and 20.0!!! :shock: oh well there goes me eating anything for a bit :)

the last time i had ketostix on prescription was when i was about 15!!! moved changed gp's and never had them since... it was only when the hospital changed my prescription to add the insulin vial that they also added ketostix back on!! plus my doctors refuse to prescribe 2 seperate types of...

:lol: :lol: :lol: That would be awesome :D I think I'm personally going to try the vibrate function, it cant be any worse that the non existant alarm :)

The lowest I recall still being "with it" is 1.4. I have, in the past, had issues with my hypo awareness. But it really depends on what I'm doing... If im at a computer I have never had an issue as I loose all focus, cannot see the screen and just cant concentrate :) The 1 I find really...

it has 1 rather amusing feature... the other day i was sat down watching tv as you do... didnt hear a beeping but all of a sudden felt a strong vibration on my leg... thought i was imagining things... about 5 mins later felt it again... saw my phone was on a table so wasnt that... checked my...

In the past month since being on the insulin pump, I have been lucky in that my post hypo results have been around the 5 mark, this is the first time it's gone above 6... I have never needed to go on DAFNE or any other course :) however I have always been aware when on MDI not to compensate :)...

Yes i have the contour link machine which auto sends it to the pump, so im rekoning it's this that's using power :) A nuclear blast could go off in the middle of the night and the noise wouldnt wake me... :D :lol: lol unfortunately no the alarm does not wake me, nor does it wake my hubby... :)

Hey!!! I have recently opened a new box of my infusion set's and have noticed a couple of things that don't seem "normal" to me :? im saying that because the box i've opened is only my 2nd box of silhouette's... The sticky bit isnt that sticky (am using medical tape to make sure it stays...

On the colour code thing on the tub of ketostix 8 is not the highest, but the 1 below!! I am aware that when sick insulin requirements may go up, ill have to read pump manual about temp setting a higher basal amount :) lucky my job is sitting at a desk all day, so the most strenous thing I have...

Hi, Yes i use the ones from medtronic :) i thought i was using lots due to the number of times ive been testing my blood :)

Hi Sue, Unfortunately can't help either!!! While I was at home i was worried about how quiet the alarm was and considered changing to vibrate, however 1 month in and I'm nearly onto battery number 3 i decided against it!!! Strange though that 1 hour ago I was complained at and asked to silence...

Hey guys!!! I can't believe im asking this... I have been diabetic for coming onto 23 years now and have never before really paid much attention to ketones... however now im on the pump i finally have ketone sticks and am testing... I was wondering, last night I had a huge hypo, that required...

Having no recolection of what you do while hypo seems to be very normal... alaska - I am wondering if you are not aware though how on earth you can control aggressive behaviour??? the only time i have had hypo awareness in my life was when i was pregnant, and i have been diabetic 23 years...

I was on microgynon before i got pregnant the 1st time (it fortunately failed on me)... and again before i got pregnant 2nd time with absolutely no problems with diabetes :)

oh well judging by the redness and how sore it is still... i think the site is infected :/ oh well i doubt it will be the last time lol im just glad i did decide to change it :)
