Hey why not I'm not paying but I'll have to check with the sponsors first....

It's certainly a tough decision because of cost, I've got an idea!!!!! CALLING OUT out to any diabetic mags,forums etc if you want myself a man and a female (Spicey) in completely different parts of the UK to try out all the latest CGM and pump combos for a month at a time, then give a detailed...

Ok if you want to split hairs then how would you know not to be testing during unforeseen circumstances that effect your levels if they're unforeseen or how would you get your basal right during the dawn phenomenon???? I have as I've said just started on a pump and i'm trying to get my basal...

Hi again I've managed to connect to 360 now, and I have no problem editing the basal, so I can't understand why you can't?? On the opening screen there is a tab_ basal rate profile- click - find the profile your on or want to alter and click edit, there is a tutorial that's worth a look before...

Hi, why do you need to use the 360 software to edit your basal? Can't you just do it via your pump that's how I have altered mine. But perhaps you can help me as I too have just got a pump, but I can't seem to connect mine to the 360 software??? Did yours just connect first time?: If you...

I've got rapid, Its early days I guess but i seem to be high all the time so not much to write down yet, but do seem to be holding at same rate before and after meal and as i've slowly increased daily rate which is bringing me down and staying steady, but still too high. One of the reasons i...

I just started on this accu chek insight pump and i'm adjusting/upping my units per hour every two days trying to get a better blood glucose level than before when on long and short acting insulin (which was already pretty tight). Do any of you experienced pump uses remember how long it took...

Oh matey maybe 2011 was just a poor year but as I said before lets just agree to disagree, I just started on this accu chek insight pump and i'm adjusting/upping my units per hour every two days trying to get a better blood glucose level than before when on long and short acting insulin (which...

Hi I've just started on an accu chek insight pump, my levels were pretty good before when I was injecting long and short acting insulin but I wanted to get my control even tighter, I was just wondering if any other pump users remember how long it took them on average to balance their pump in...

The numbers I quoted come from the net as I said, but I have no further details on any drugs companies profits but I think the quote makes sense to everyone big money is a big risk still doesn't excuse companies like Pfizer from creaming so much money for so long from organisations like the NHS...

"Pfizer reported $2.05 billion in Viagra sales in 2012, according to the company's financial filings. But that represents only 3.5% of the company's total revenue and makes Viagra only it's sixth best selling drug. Its patent protections for use of the drug to treat erectile dysfunction runs...

The drug and pharmaceutical companies always claim that the reason they are charging the consumers (us) or the nhs (oh us again) so much is to claim back the huge cost of the development but several years later when the have spent 10 million on development but gained 10 billion in profit they...

oh sorry i must have misread your first comment as I thought you were being offered by an nhs clinic different pump options, so i'm assuming your self funding it all then pump and cgm combo. its a bit annoying that the cgms have such a short year long life, as i was considering a cgm to go...

Hi sorry i'm new to all this, (not being a type 1, 35 years man and boy) anyway i'm getting a pump for first time tomorrow an accu chek insight from clinic was just wondering why or how you were offered all these different pump and cgm combs because when i asked about getting a cgm i was told...
