Terrible Pump! Batteries don't charge, insulin cartridges fail, BG reader doesn't recognise strips, communication between the pump and handset can be non-existent or painfully slow. There was supposed to be an update to the handset in March last year but nothing yet, I won't hold my breath for...

I've been using Cellnovo since November and had 3 handsets and 5 pump batteries. Constant communication failures, inactive touch screen, cartridge faults, aborted boluses etc. I had Animas pumps for 12 years and had 2 issues for the whole of that period. I really like the short tether but I...

Thank you very much but it's all sorted now, thanks again Ken :-)

Yes sorry, it's complicated but I just managed to forward your number then I was out of communication yesterday. My friends in hospital today for bloods so that might be why there's no answer. She's not on the forum as she's only just been diagnosed with gestational diabetes so I said I'd ask...

Hi Ken, did my friend manage to get in touch? Last I heard she'd tried ringing and sent you a text message. Sorry I couldn't reply on here to you until now.

Hi Guys, Does anyone in the Birmingham/Stratford/Coventry area have a spare libre sensor? It's an emergency. I can buy it off you or replace it next week. Thanks, Jim

Skied for a week in January without any problems whatsoever. -15 air temp but inside your jacket it's as warm as Madrid in August.

I also switched from the Vibe to cellnovo and echo your comments completely @jimbaxter . I literally only switched yesterday so still getting used to having the pump attached to me, I do already feel relieved not to have the tethered pump dangling about when getting changed etc. and extra space...

I had a Vibe for 4 years and the Animas 2020 for 5 years before that. Both great pumps, I'd highly recommend them. Only issues I had was with the waterproofing. Two separate Vibe pumps had water ingress from swimming in the sea, the second time I had a holiday loner pump on me as I didn't trust...

Hi, I've had 2 Animas pumps (2020 & Vibe) and got on really well with them - apart from water damage, had the vibe replaced twice, both turned off in the sea on holiday so I don't put it anywhere near water now. Anyway, I've decided to have a change as the long cannula is a bit annoying. I was...

True but I normally spike to high teens/20's after eating anything anyway so that's not something out of the ordinary for me.

For the past 2 nights i've swapped my evening meal for about 5 pints of lager, (normally I'd only have a couple on a week night). I find the results very interesting, as the sugar in the beer increases my BG readings the alcohol cancels that out over night. I actually woke up low this morning...
