As the title says I’m partially sighted is there anybody operating the Medtronic 670 & Dexcom With eyesight issues and neuropathy in the hands? I can use my phone when held 3-5 inches in front of me with very strong glasses . Filling the cartridges and pushing the buttons might cause some...

If you have to use a self filled cartridges can you fill 2 or 3 and keep them in the fridge till needed a few days late. Just been so long sine I’ve read up (years) I just cant remember.

Hi All, I’ve been self funding since last September not a cheap task, was turned down as I had good control so I done this off my back as I believe I could get better control and I have. My point is I was told not to buy sensors online which I have and not had any problems whatsoever but now...

Good morning everyone, I’m in a bit of a dilemma, I’ve used Accu-Chek pumps for the last 20+ years and they’ve been really good, but I’m due for a change and I’m looking at the Ypsopump. I’ve read plenty of info and held one plus tried a cannula it looks all very simple. Are there any of you...

My Accu-Chek Insight expires end of April and I’ve got a choice of 3 Medtronic 640g Accu-Chec insight Ypsopump I’ve ruled out the Medtronic as it just doesn’t appeal to me The Ypsopump is a new on the block, is anyone on this? What’s it like etc, I know it takes 1.6ml Novarapid pumpcart...

I’d become quite unsettled over the last few months with just about everything health wise badgering daily, since ‘99 and starting pumping my HBa1c has been spot on low forties can’t ask better than that ? But I’m still not satisfied I want to get into the mid 5.0s. Since last year I’ve...

Hi everyone my pump alarm went off at 1am “cartridge low” which leaves me with 25units till morning, normally I’d deal with it the morning I woke at 5.30 and knew something was very wrong. I’d disconnected my pump and some how managed to get an arm out of my tee shirt, and pulled my underwear...

Well today I'm hoping for some answers, I've got an appointment with my DSN and Roche rep Lynn let's hope I get some straight forward explanations and answers to the list of issues I've got with the insight, Cannulas and service I've had [emoji2]

Just found out from my Dsn's the Tenderlinks are available so been straight ont to Accu Chek and ordered some at least something is going ok can't say as much for being on MDI but no too many highs or lows

I've read the last few days on the site about cannula pains and problems, I've been using the insight Rapids since being on the said pump without too much discomfort but I don't find them as good as the old tender's that I used on my old one. Accu Chek still haven't got a release date for...

I explained a couple of weeks ago the battery cap had snapped off "last bank holiday actually " I've been in contact with Roche I think it's 2-3 times and was told a returns kit was being sent out but I've received zilch yesterday I got a letter asking why it's not been returned all respect it...

Went to change the battery on my accuchek Insight pump as I've done before a few times and the hinge just come completely away, so phoned them and spoke to a lovely lady in America, why there and not the UK I don't know so new pump should be here Monday or Tuesday, I think that's pretty good...

Yes the title is loosely used I'm now 1 week off yet again for my first knee op, everything is now in place for day surgery next Friday, I have had to battle to convince them to let me stay on my pump using a TBR before, during and after the procedure.

I've been using the Insight since 24/4//15, people will know I'm not new to pumping, but my mood, attitude and feelings towards this pump and especially my diabetes have really become an issue for me I've not found the transition from my old pump as easy as I expected, in fact I've become so...

I use my phone App to get weights etc for most of my carb related intake, but When I use it it says it's updating then continue but I've noticed it does seem very dated and not as much is in it as I'd like, Is the paper edition more of an updated copy Does anyone else find this with the mobile...
