Today I came off my pump. The reason being my infusion sets keep failing, and I have had ketones all weekend. I just can't do it anymore, my diabetic hospital wanted me to try other sets, but I've had enough. Also I have lost a lot of confidence, and I spend so much time worrying, I feel its not...

I have made the difficult decision to come off my animas vibe pump. I have been pumping almost 3 years now, and while things were fine in the beginning, the last six months have been very stressful. At least once a month, I get ketones, high readings, and no idea why. My tubing isn't twisted...

I have noticed that after most set changes, my blood sugar rises quite high. Today it was on 12.8 after two and half hours. I usually have to do a correction, or put on a temp basal to correct it. I only have it disconnected for a short time, so I am not sure why it does this. I never know if...

Interested to know where other pumpers put their sites? I tend to use my stomach and sides, but would like to use the top of my thighs. When I used to inject there, it was slower to work, does it work okay in that area? I am starting to run out of places to put my insets. Also currently...

Hi there, I am currently using an animas vibe pump. I have just noticed the battery life has gone down to one bar, on my pump, and will need changing. I am reluctant to do this now, as it is late in the day. I would need to do a set change, and I usually do them in the morning, to allow for...

I have been on a pump now for nearly three years, I am on a animas vibe, and while I think it has a lot of benefits, just recently, I have been having some doubts. I went on holiday last week to the west country, and was staying in an area, where there was no mobile signal, and you had to...

I am thinking of taking a pump break, currently on an Animas 2020, which I've had for 2+ years. Problem is finding somewhere to put the inset's, had several failures recently, which has knocked my confidence, and left me wondering what to do next. I normally put them in my stomach, or sides...

I have been on the Animas pump now for 2 and half years, I am not due an upgrade till December 2014. I am wondering if you are allowed to change pumps before then? I am having a lot of problems, with finding a suitable site to put the insets, normally use my tummy, but told to use other areas...

I am on a animas pump, and normally use my stomach and sides to put the insets in. Recently I noticed a site that I had used, had left a small red lump which did not disappear like it normally does. It has now grown in size, and although not painful, looks like it could be infected. I am...

I have had my animas 2020 now since December 2010, I would really like to go on the animas vibe. Just wondering how long you have to be on your pump, before you get an upgrade. Think they told me it was every three years, but can't remember. Just wondered if anyone knows? Thanks for reading.....
