Sounds like you're well prepared ahah

Hi Spicey, where are you going on holiday? I went on a holiday persay during my early days on pump in some pretty extreme conditions so if you have any questions ask away I'll be happy to answer them

You might want to take a notebook with you as they tell you lots of information and fast. Also take plenty to drink and maybe some snacks as you can be there for hours. Good luck!

If you're having trouble with sets staying on then there is a cream you can get on prescription called cavillon. I'd recommend this as I had a few sets come put while I was in Japan. But since I got the cream no sets have come off.

I have a purple one

It takes a bit longer than 25 minutes but not much longer. However you need to recharge it approx every 2 weeks so it won't run out on ou while you have it on. Hope this helps.

Hi @-Artemis- I didn't do a saline trial. I was just given the pump straight away.

Hi @buckley8219 I tried those steps and they unfortunately did not work. However, after changing the sensor I have had no further problems. As I was told it must have been a faulty batch otherwise they do last 6 days.

Hi @tim2000s my sensors last 6 days, I've tried to get them to last longer by saying it's a new sensor but it doesn't seem to work. Overall the sensors are great especially if you're like me and don't have hypo awareness. I had a few problems with the sensors as some were only lasting 2 days...

Hi @-Artemis- pump start day is very exciting I had mine 4 weeks ago (wow that went quick). I was also getting the CGM but they gave me it a few days later when I went back for a canula change. Just a bit of advice so you're not disappointed if you don't get the sensors today. They just want you...

See I'm only 15 so guidelines are different I guess

Hi @buckley8219 I managed to get long term funding because I don't have any hypo or hyper awareness. I've had a few close calls so.

I'm on the enlite sensors and I was told the transmitter lasts about a year with continuous use.

This is also my first pump and it is definitely a great choice. It is really easy to use as the pump is designed for left and right handers. On previous pumps it was difficult for left handers to use it. If you ever forget a step when you are changing cannulas and reservoirs then the pump talks...

My clip is quite good, it doesn't fall off or anything

If you have any other questions just ask away. Glad I could help.

I did get CGM with mine due to the fact I don't have hypo awareness. The smartguard works well as it suspends all insulin delivery if it detects that your BG is dropping rapidly. However, if you do get the CGM ensure to calibrate the sensor at least twice a day otherwise it will go haywire and...

Hi -Artemis- I have the 640g and I'm loving it. It has completely changed me for the better. I've only had it a week so we're still sorting out rations and rates but up to now it's been very beneficial.

@Brava210 how long have you had this pump?

Thanks guys, I'm all connected now and first session is done. Got to go back on Friday for cannula change and more info. Thanks for all your help everyone.
