Hi Wonder if someone could help me. My DNA has given me a dexcom one to try out but when I loaded the app, dexcom one, it says my phone isn't compatible. Although phones I had years ago are! Is there way around this? Many thanks in advance. Nik

Sorry very new to this pump! Does it beep a couple of hours after a pod change if you don't enter a bg level? Thanks[emoji51]

Hi, Ok slightly dramatic title! For the last week I have been having highs that would not come down, I mean 20 - 25 and never lower than 15. I am not blowing my own trumpet but I am a well controlled diabetic so it was pretty unusual. I was blaming everything, including my blood tester, the...

Hi All I am off to CentreParcs next week and was wondering what the best way to deal with my pump is while swimming and going down the watersides and rapids etc.. I have a Medtronic Minimed 640g. My plan was to have the cannula between hip and backside so I can pull my trunks over the top and...

This may well appear a rather student question. But until recently I have been carb counting bananas as 23 per 100g. This info I found online. I have noticed I tend to go low after injection for this. I have since looked up carbs of bananas with skin on (more specific search) and its 6 per 100g...

Hi I have recently got a Medtronic 640g and was wondering is it worth insuring? If so what's the best way. Not sure the trust would replace one if I trod on it! [emoji16] Cheers Nik Sent from my iPhone using DCUK Forum

Hi Just have to say what a great site, never used a diabetic forum before and about to enter the world of pumps, so this is a god send. Cheers Nik

Hi I am about to branch out to the world of insulin pumps, at last my diabetic centre has agreed to fund me :) I am going for the Medtronic 640g after lots of online and this forum searching. My question is the blood testing machine you need to use, contour next link 2.4, are the strips...

Hi Just joined this very useful site and thought I would leap in with a question. Does anyone know of an app that you can enter how many carbs you have and it tells you how much insulin you need based on ratios you can preset it with? Many thanks in advance! [emoji16] Nik Sent from my...
