    Ypsomed my life insulin pump

    Hi Fozzie. I was previously on Insight which had handset with it which I loved. Now on ypso which I like as I like the Prefilled cartridges as it is easy to see but I don't use a Smartphone which is a drawback when I am out. Only drawback no handset unlike the Insight.

    Ypsomed my life insulin pump

    Great excitement. It has just arrived. I thought I was going crazy with battery issue. Sitting on buses and out eating and low battery warning was going off. Sorry to hear you had same problem and happy you got new pump.

    Ypsomed my life insulin pump

    I did phone ypso and was told me they would send me a box of batteries and to phone them back in a weeks time. I know there is a fault with the pump itself. A battery still only lasting a day and a half.

    Weight loss on pump

    It's what you put in your mouth . It's not the Pump contributing to your weight gain

    Anyone else noticed just how much diabetic care has changed over the years?.

    I too can no longer see to cut my toenails. I can’t see a Podiatrist at nhs clinic so have to pay £27.00 at private practice.

    Ypsopump

    Been on Ypso Pump for a week very pleased with it but have two questions. How often do you change cannula and tubing. Previously on Insight Pump and did change every 2 days. I don’t use smartphone so I can’t find out daily total of Bolus on the Pump. What is the procedure to find this on Pump.

    Weight gain that doesn’t make sense

    I know this sounds harsh BUT insulin doesnt make you put on weight. It’s what you put in your mouth. I had Bulimia for many years and was under the illusion about insulin.
