Hi mike and Jopar, Good to read your stories seeing as you on same pump and experiencing same issues. I've never been able to get on with Multiwave or Extended, despite roche rep saying about it every time - I can never get it right! Mind you today is a nightmare day....got a slight cold...

Hi Mike, I too use the Accu chek spirit (since may 07). I have on occassion had the uncormfortable cannula and then when I removed it had blood - but not to the same extent as you describe - NASTY! What cannula's do you use? I use the Flex Link (Roche Accu chek ones) and I also use the link...

I was interested to read these posts re Novorapid insulin - I too am on a pump and sometimes my post meal BG are high - yet if I do a correction bolus I then find I hypo a short time later. Might be worth me looking into this further. Since really trying to watch the carbs I have found how...

No, it's not a one off but as you all know it's difficult to put a pattern to BS readings sometimes....maybe it's my hormones or maybe i'm coming down with a bug... Sooo wish I didn't have to deal with this though...specially as i am trying so hard to monitor what i'm eating...

As the others have said, your girl friend is one lucky girl to have found you! My husband knows very little about diabetes and although he tries to show an interest in what I'm up to it goes in one ear and the out the other for him! Altho hopefully he does know how the Glucagen Kit works for...

Thanks for your help. i have been seriously trying to "be good" (when I say good I mean no snacking in between meals) for the last few weeks which has resulted in low carbing quite by accident really....but I can see it does work and does mean much better BS throughout the day and importantly...

Hi I'm on insulin pump and am just finding confidence that I can no carb or low carb and my BS stays stable but if you eat out for lunch or dinner what would you choose off the menu? I'm also interested how people fit in low carb diets at home with Hungry husbands and children without having to...

Hi just wanted to say Hi! Been pumping for almost 2 years with success when I am really strict but with numbers all over the place when I'm not concentrating. Been trying really hard over last few weeks to improve HBA1C before trying for No 3 baby! i just find the whole diabetes thing a real...
