I have the insight and the remote is v slow!!! I asked my rep and DSN and they agreed saying they are all slow-hopefully something will be done about it!

I had the same problem today Brett-put one it, hurt like hell and blood was coming out the actual cannula, removed it and blood was coming out quite a bit [emoji17] v sore now still

Hi, I am a gym instructor and sports therapist and my job is v active 5-6 days a week. If anything it is a massive help to my diabetes management as I am v v insulin sensitive as a result of my job! I am now on a pump due to many hypos and the pens not doing small enough units for me but I would...

Hello, I've had my pump (Roche insight) for nearly two months now and use the flex link plus Cannulas and the link assist plus to put them in. I do a lot of weight training and have not much body fat-I'm finding that every cannula is hurting, with some being really really painful when newly...

I got mine two weeks ago and so far I love it :) it's my first pump and the handset and pump is really easy to use! I love the flexibility of a pump and already my BG levels have improved massively. I have a really active job and exercise lots so the pump is beneficial for me. Good luck with yours!

You can change the screen colour :)

I am on very small doses due to high insulin sensitivity through my job being so active and exercising every day. I am on only 2 units basal and a maximum of 12-15 units bolus overall per day :) that's why the pump is so prefect for me and my diddy doses! :p

Hi all, I got my pump last Tuesday and have done two cannula changes so far and when I peel the sticker off it's agony! Ha ha if we could just rip it off in one quick movement then that would be great but cos we have to pull it out straight, peeling it off slowly proper hurts! I'm probably a...

That's a very good idea noblehead thank you! I shall get jotting down my questions now!

Hi everyone, After what has felt like a v v long wait (it probably wasn't really, I'm just impatient :p ) I get my Roche insight pump on Tuesday and can't wait! I have to go to a group training session for a couple hours next Tuesday and the Tuesday after. I was just wondering what to expect in...

I use my bum the most as that's the only part of my body that has fat, I am very lean and bruise/react super easily if I inject in my tummy, thighs or arms. I used to use a mirror but now I'm so used to it I just twist and inject. I used to have a huge phobia of needles too therefore I do it...

Hahaha oh dear! Nut I mean nut!! :p

I too have a very active job working as a gym instructor & sports therapist so like to pick slower releasing carb meals. Personally I don't eat standard cereals as I find a lot are high in salt and sugar and as I have a severe but allergy, I can't have muesli. My breakfasts normally consist of...

The Roche insight pump :) so excited!!

I had the same problem and it had returned however it's intermittent. If I fall gradually, I can go in the 2's and not notice a thing but if I drop dramatically then I have symptoms. So I test very regularly and always before driving even if it's only a two min journey. I get my pump 10th march...

I'm getting mine in march too-can't wait

Look at the website runsweet.com that's a great website for exercising and managing glucose levels. I'm afraid I can't offer any other advice as I don't suffer with that issue-mine rise as high as 12 after a heavy weight training session but that's it really! Good luck :)

I was told the same-18months to 2 year wait. I managed to get on one within a few months of diagnosis but that was only because I told the hospital that my brother who is also type one had taught me to carb count right away therefore felt I was suitable to go on it early. I totally agree and...

Thank you all very much :) I was swaying towards the Roche insight as saw previously that there had been a lot of problems with the cellnovo

Hi, Sorry for repeating what has been asked many many times! My DSN told me a couple months ago that I am a suitable candidate for a pump and today was told which of the three I can choose from: Roche insight Medtronic (new model coming out soon) Cellnovo Could anyone provide their...
