Sorry Ive not been on here for a while. I got my first pump in January 2021. This would not have been my choice of pump. Depends what you want from a pump. Currently the Yposmed is just a pump it does not do closed loop. And when it does it will only be for android users. I have an iPhone...

As the Libre has only been approved for use on the back of the arm. You would have to do a finger prick for driving

The Ypsomed Ypsopump uses the novorapid pump carts 1.6ml/160units

Hi Long story but my choices were medtrum or ypsopump. I went for the Ypsopump (tubed) so I could move it around depending on what I was doing and also have the convenience of being able to remove for sparring and reattach afterwards. I had a diabetic spibelt to keep it in place...

Not been on here in a long while. Got a Ypsopump love it. No bother with the infusion sets. There are apps for both pumps in the app stores so you can try them out

I was given a report by IPAG Scotland. They can be inconsistent in delivery of insulin

It was a very slight bend maybe 10 degrees at the absolute most. Some was being absorbed just not enough. Changed the site and it went back to normal. Thanks

I use appeal spray for removal and palmers coco butter on my skin it works wonders for me

If you contact Ypsopump they can give you a belt. I got one in my box which I use at night as I’m a restless sleeper

Hi I’ve been on the Ypsopump for 5 weeks now. I changed my site on Friday morning and my have been spiking and coming down with extra corrections. I even upped my basal by 10% and not much difference. I changed infusion sets this morning and I noticed the cannula was bent at the base of the...

Sorry Ive not been on here for a while. The decision is down to the accountant because they are cheaper. It definitely is a postcode lottery. I got an email from the DSN saying they have funding. and am I still interested for a start next year. The choices are still as above. Although they...

Ive been type 1 for 40 years. Asked in march last year for my first pump. Fingers crossed I will get it in Jan/Feb. Advice check with your hospital what their criteria is for getting a pump. Also check which pumps they will supply. Research all the pumps looking at their pros and cons...

Hi The Libre is brilliant and the app for that works on the iPhone :) oh and get some kinesiology tape to keep it on The pump its a personal choice and I haven't looked at those ones. When I was researching pumps I made a table comparing them what they provided and what positives and...

Good luck. The criteria in my area is you have to have done a carb counting course. You have to prove that you are working hard to get your hba1c on target. You also have to prove you can cope with diabetes on mdi. I know of someone who was going through their rebellious teenage years was...

Hi If you go to your phone App Store you will find a simulator for the TSlim. Ive used it and it does look good. I have had it confirmed that the Libre will work with AID (automatic insulin delivery) devices. There are no dates of when it will be released. But it has been hinted at its not...

I've had issues ever since I started my periods. Always heavy always painful. So wouldn't have noticed pain changes as was having hormonal changes. You don't realise they are painful because that is normal for you. I've still got my ovaries as they were ok and I was trying to avoid hrt for...

They told me after both pregnancies that my uterus was taking ages to go back to its normal size. I think it was at its normal size just it was an enlarged normal size

Depends on what your bloods are to begin with if I'm high I will leave longer between eating and injecting. Bloods normal range I give before eating

Thanks. Not lost enough weight for it to drop my needs that much. I'm putting it down to the change in hormone levels and the change of stress being put on the body.

Thank you @DCUKMod. I don't know anyone who's had a hysterectomy let alone a T1. I had a laprascopic but I was out the following day and after a few days I was not taking painkillers for it. Even knowing someone else bounced back so quickly helps.
