My son is 11 and he meets the criteria and we will be prescribed it as and when. But funding isn’t yet available in Sunderland. Our nurse will keep us informed.

Hello our finally arrived yesterday and I’ve set everything up through our iPhones. Are you using android? We can’t get blucon app to scan nightrider but it’s working with xDrip. But I can’t get the nightscout to link with xDrip. Looking at using my folks old windows phones instead to see if...

Thank you. I’m in England. Hopefully it’ll arrive soon. And I’m even more hopeful that I can get the apps working. The Facebook page has some pretty negative comments.

Hello. I got an email from the courier saying Ours was shipped on 13/1 but it still hasn’t been delivered. I can’t track the shipping number so I’m wondering how long it took from you getting an email. Thank you.

I’ve finally ordered one too. And I’ve ordered the strap from the German website to hold it in place. Thank you for posting really helpful info.

I’m a secondary school food teacher and know that most jobs in nutrition would require college/university qualifications. There is a ncfe level 2 certificate in understanding nutrition and health (equivalent to a GCSE) you can do. Search it online. Maybe ring your diabetes team to ask them if...

Hello. My son went onto the pump in June and he’s had some awful highs. So much so that he’s on 75% attendance at school. But we are persevering. It seems like we are constantly making adjustments to both basal and bolus. We also changed cannula which has so far helped. I’ve been re-reading...

Sugar is a functional ingredient in baking and it is difficult to create the texture and appearance of baked goods by using sugar substitutes. You can however successfully reduce the % of sugar in some baked goods by around 10-20%. It’s a bit trial and error. Everything in moderation [emoji4]

Try cavilon spray by 3m. My son is now allergic to his cannula adhesive so we use it for that. But it’s approved by Abbott’s for the libre.

My son and I use mySugr. It’s brilliant because he enters readings on his phone at school and I can see what they are on my phone.

Not sure if you're doing this, but tubing should be changed with every insulin vial. We were originally told change tubing day 6, and insulin and cannula days 3&6, but met the rep last week as was told differently. Also use the multi wave for any bolus greater than 5 as the Teflon cannula can't...

We're starting a trial on the 17/10. I'm hoping it'll help when my sons playing football and checking on him through the night.

We've not got another pump to compare the insight to, but it was the Bluetooth from the meter to the pump that appeared to us.

Sounds like you got the right advice from the start. I'm on the ball and always make notes. Not sure why we weren't told all of this from the start.

Hello. Yes you can slow down delivery on the insight.

Had a meeting yesterday with Roche rep to look at Insight Tender cannulas. Found out some other important things that I thought other user should know if you don't already - bare in kind we're quite new to the pump 1. Tubing should be changed every time insulin is changed, and not every 6 days...

Once we get to the bottom of the issues we're seeing with high bloods I hope that the insight goes back to being our best friend. Seeing the rep on Friday. Hoping for answers.

That's a good idea. I'll have a look at how I can adapt a pocket.

Thank you. But no food. He was actually tested at 9:10, not long into school day. He's safely back on the pen for the next week just so he can have some continuity in his first term in secondary school.

thank you, yes he's on the flex. we have noticed an occasional bent cannula, but not every time. the insulin always primes ok. i've now been searching google for unexplained hyper on pump. we had a good night from yesterday tea-time to todays breakfast. then a call from school at 10am reading...
