Hi Wonder if someone could help me. My DNA has given me a dexcom one to try out but when I loaded the app, dexcom one, it says my phone isn't compatible. Although phones I had years ago are! Is there way around this? Many thanks in advance. Nik

Sorry very new to this pump! Does it beep a couple of hours after a pod change if you don't enter a bg level? Thanks[emoji51]

I was given the same options and after lots and lots or research I am going for the Omnipod. I have had the 640g for 4 years now and has been a good pump (albeit being replaced 3 times) Its the tubeless that has sold it too me. Should be starting with it in the next two months :happy:

Hi @Sweetheart66 Yes there is, had run it once before but sort of forgot it was there. I had in my mind it ran its own checks. But as mentioned its worth perhaps running it a couple of times a month, don't want to go through a week like that again!

Hi @helensaramay ah yes the useful advice of others...I know it well! I normally take pens when I go away but was at work this time, thankfully only 30 mins drive away so wasn't too bad, but like the syringe idea! Hi @sleepster Think I was lucky it was during lunchtime on a week day. Thanks re...

Hi @kitedoc I will be way more aware now. In some ways at least it wasn't me who was wrong :) Interesting point re the battery too! Hi @donnellysdogs , thanks re the website, will take a look at that! Just out of interest, are there any other 640G users out there who regularly run the self...

Hi, Ok slightly dramatic title! For the last week I have been having highs that would not come down, I mean 20 - 25 and never lower than 15. I am not blowing my own trumpet but I am a well controlled diabetic so it was pretty unusual. I was blaming everything, including my blood tester, the...

Hi, I have just started it today, so will let you know.

Hi All I am off to CentreParcs next week and was wondering what the best way to deal with my pump is while swimming and going down the watersides and rapids etc.. I have a Medtronic Minimed 640g. My plan was to have the cannula between hip and backside so I can pull my trunks over the top and...

I teach the students not to rely on the internet and there is me taken it for granted! :)

oh yes you're right! Same here, ok explains that then! Thanks again :)

Hi Guys, thanks very much for the replies. This is where I got the 6 carbs from http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/calories/350164295

This may well appear a rather student question. But until recently I have been carb counting bananas as 23 per 100g. This info I found online. I have noticed I tend to go low after injection for this. I have since looked up carbs of bananas with skin on (more specific search) and its 6 per 100g...

thanks guys! Weirdly someone had bought a massive packet of biscuits in the office, so giving insulin all over the place, typical. I did a bit of manual calculations and its coming down now. Shame you can only do that once though!

Hi I have my first dodgy cannula today. Not bad after 4 months I guess. Anyway blood sugar has been going up all morning. So changed it and it was as crooked as a dogs hind leg! :) Is there a way of resetting the insulin my pump thinks is in my system. If indeed its possible? Many thanks in...

This one is great for day time Hid-in This one for nighttime Amazon Finally this one for sport Amazon :)

Thanks for the replies, its was the set which was the concern. I had the pump (640) on the side of the bath so didn't get over heated. :)

Hi quick question, does anyone know if the above is ok in the bath? Only had it a week and know it fine is showers but can it remain submerged for quite a while? Will still have the pump attached though. Cheers Nik ps I tend to take long baths! :)

Thanks for the replies guys. As yet no one had mentioned it, not the rep or my nurse. Just thought it might be a logical thing to do. I called the insurers last night and apparently I was the third who had asked that day! :) It was covered as a personal item outside the home and abroad but not...
