I take Vitamin D3 (as live in north of Scotland!), Vitamin B12 (for pernicious anaemia), Omega 3, Glucosamine (for joints), and a multivitamin & mineral. Type 1 since 1969.

Thanks Chas, that's just the info I need. Got the Accu-Chek 360 Diabetes Management software earlier this week, so will hopefully be able to gain some insight into my pump and meter readings. It really is a comprehensive piece of software. I'm running it on a virtual PC on my iMac, as it isn't...

I've got the pump attached to my belt with a belt clip that I got from the rep, and will have a look at other ways to wear my pump. Had to do a cannula change (2nd one) and first cartridge change this morning. Ended up putting the cannula in lower than I should have, as it's right on the belt...

I changed my cannula and tubing for the first time today, and seemed to go fine. I've emailed Accu-Chek, and they're sending out the 360 Management Software (free), so I can analyse the data I've been collecting so far (2 hourly testing for last three nights). Test results have been mostly...

I've been on the pump for only three days, but am loving it. Welcome aboard! Type 1 since 1969.

Apart from a low of 4.1 around 2am, my levels were all in the 6.x range during the night, rising to 7.7 at breakfast. Need to collect more data, but overall, my basel rate setting is looking not bad. Today will be a bit more interesting, as am totally on the humalog insulin from the pump, with...

I'm live! Have to check back with the DSN after lunch, and it's early days yet, but I'm finally pumping! *big grin on face* Type 1 since 1969.

Kangoo, just really getting used to having a pump attached 24/7, but fine so far. Not had a chance to go through the menus yet, but seems pretty comprehensive. At I'm an IT guy, the pump was set for advanced menus. I disconnected the pump today as I'd had the cannula in for three days, and didnt...

My pump training (Accu-Chek Combo) went well today, and I'm now hooked up to the pump - until the weekend - with saline, to get used to it, and explore the menus etc. Will start pumping with insulin next Monday (17th June). :O) Type 1 since 1969.

DSN emailed yesterday to say my pump had arrived, and I also received delivery of a large box, with a years supply of pump consumables. Not long to go now. :O) Type 1 since 1969.

That's excellent. Good on them. So, just another 6 years, and I can get a medal! ;O) Type 1 since 1969.

Great to hear you had a good day kangoo, and you've chosen a pump. Were there many folk there, and how was the insulin pump workshop? Type 1 since 1969.

I would expect that all pumps make some type of sound when blousing? Type 1 since 1969.

Thanks for your info ingrid, very interesting, and I'll bear it in mind once I get my pump next month. Type 1 since 1969.

Kangoo, the pump will be a great start to the summer, assuming we're going to get one this year! Type 1 since 1969.

IHs, can only hope that the weather is good in June, as we have very variable/unpredictable weather in Caithness, so fingers crossed! The DSN had mentioned just starting me off on one basal rate, so will do some overnight testing, to see if a different rate is required for nighttime. That's...

I'll be starting on an Accu-Chek Combo on 17th June, so am anticipating a disruption to blood/glucose readings for a while... but this is to be expected. The better control that a pump will give me, will be well worth the initial upheaval. Type 1 since 1969.

Good news! Got the go-ahead for a pump today. Will do one day of training on 12th June, and will start pumping on 17th June. Have been asking to be put on a pump for years, so am a *very* happy guy. :O) Type 1 since 1969.

Thanks for the info kangoo, but unfortunately won't be able to attend the conference. Yes, will be choosing the Accu-Chek Combo pump, as it looks the best fit for me, out of the three available. I really like the idea of the remote, and as there's no chance of funding CGM with the other two...

Was at Dunbar yesterday. Conference? Type 1 since 1969.
