Thanks for your replies :) i have changed my cannula and a good job as it's very sore and the bruise is HUGE, i did however not change the tubing or the resevoir because i still have about 2 days left worth of insulin in there... im have approx 40 units per day and my dsn said to draw up approx...

Thanks, I'm using Veo with silhouette infusion set, all i've been told is when i change the cannula i need to change everything including the tubing and resevoir... :)

Apologies again for another post... i recently had bleeding into cannula and out of instinct I changed the set immediately even though it seemed to be having no effect on my sugars... the replacement set i have put isnt bleeding into the cannula, however looking at the clear patch where the...

I've had paramedics a couple of times, once when i was about 8 I was on hols and had a really bad hypo which my parents coulnt bring me out of. another occasion I saw paramedics was when an incompetant teacher sent me home "ill" - being hypo i had no idea of what was going on... left the school...

Good morning all!!! Finally come round from my 1.4 this morning :? At least it's a nice sunny day :D

LittleSue - when i registered my contour link machine with the bayer website I got to choose which skin i wanted :) I'm strangely in a good mood with my pump today, saw my DSN this morning and was worried a little at my blood sugars (i thought that I had a fair few high) and she said they were...

well my results seemed pretty good last night, around 5/6 before i noticed :) Re allergic/intollerant to the infusion sets, im pressuming I'm ok with them because the first set i tried didnt cause pain, only reason i couldnt use em was because they kept blocking and i kept getting a no...

I changed it all as soon as i noticed the colour change :) still a bit frustrated i was doing OK on the infusion set for the first time though - put new 1 in and its back to being sore :? i'll keep an eye on the site though, not sore but looks a little more red than i would hope it to :)...

Hmmmm pink tubing... I know i'm a little obsessed with the colour, pink veo, pink case, pink skin for contour link BG machine and also a pink case for it but pink tubing!!!!!!! :lol: :lol: OK for the serious bit to the post... As people probably are aware I have had a few issues with the...

I used to set alarm to test at 3am because like Riri my sugars during the night would be unpredictable, i would have some supper (toast) and some nights I would go low wheras the following night (similar foods and exercise throughout the day) i would go high. I have just started on the pump now...

so glad... i was on the verge of asking if you had a spare pen!!!!! I'm only new on the pump so no out of date insulin (however in the past i have been known to find a pen in the fridge some time after expirey date!!!!)

Hey everyone!!! with all the issues i am having with infusion sets etc I was just starting to get a little concerned with the pump itself :lol: only been on pump for 3 weeks and was expecting it all to be hard work, messing around getting correct rates etc... well in the weeks my fasting...

wow, your ok with just testing 3 or 4 times a day? ive been diabetic for 23 years now and even before i went on pump i was testing 6+ times a day! i wish i was so lucky to be able to do it so little so soon after diagnosis!!! Apologies i cant be of any help towards your issue but im sure...

it's the receptionists rather than the docs, if their screen says it's not due then they say no, only had it 1x luckyly with insulin - when i was pregnant, my specialist wasnt impressed to say the least :) and my docs are notorious for this, did the same for my dad - we have 1 receptionist whos...

I refuse to order my prescription, my hubby does it for me, every time I call i get told Im "not due for test strips (and have also been told not allowed insulin)" for another so many weeks... apparently I'm only allowed 100 test strips a month :)

This is getting frustrating now!!! Spoken to both DSN and medtronic about the infusion set and what have you... DSN said to stick with the silhouette and that it was just the site i was using causing the issues im now having, so i have changed where im sticking the damned thing and it hasnt...

Re: Tpe 1's and DVLA changes Wow not sure of what I make of this news :? i have a liscence but dont drive (dont like it) but due to my hubby getting a new job it may be required now... I DO have nocturnal hypos which do require assistance, but i cant remember the last hypo i had during the day...

CONGRATULATIONS!!! I've got 2 little devils, 3years and 7 months, for both pregnancies my sugars went through the floor (1st pregnancy was unplanned so when it happened it was a shock - 2nd we were trying so when my sugars went awol we knew i was pregnant at 2 weeks) Both pregnancies went well...

I just wanted to say I wish your GF the best of luck tomorrow, knowing from personal experience of working in a call centre for a building society i know exactly what they are like and good luck to her on the job hunt

Nope, she asked me what I wanted my target to be and my mind went blank so i think i said id like between 5 and 6!!! since last thurs night at 3 am it's been around 7-8 and then by about 7am when i get up its 8-9. not drastically high but i figured if i can sort this out then i may be able to...
