Message: <blockquote data-quote="donnellysdogs" data-source="post: 1221349" data-attributes="member: 17713">**** small reservoirs.. 180ml.Had to leave pump roaming last night. Before it was on my arm.. Never had to nother with it... Didn't sleep a wink.. Got off about 4.50 and hubby woke me up to test at 5!! Then at 7am I was absolutely wrapped up with tubing and pump waa stuck caught up in it. Had to wake hubby up to see what on earth had happened and to devtangle me.I really do hate this pump... Due to stomach-sometimes ai have to get to loo really urgently.. Then other times its days... But urgent times.. If I have to faff around with pump on waistband I will end up pooing my pants...literally..Told nurse I hated it today. Unbelievable.. I asked her about when the alarm would go off for reservoir change as ut was set as reminder for two days. So would it be 48hrs from start up at 11am yestelrday as tomorrow I have a breast cancer consultation and wondered whether to do it before.. But then going to the beach for the day.. Or when I get home.. Late.. Which shouldn't do set changes before bed.. She said she didn't know when it would remind me but Let her know on Friday when I see her.If you get an airbubble with 640g how do you prime it out?? On insite you just detached and did a tube fill but seems this 640g wants to make you go through a reservoir change or cannula fill or just randomly bolus it out?? Just so fed up with it.. Even the contour link has the writing upside down for right handed people!! I can only use my right hand for testing....Moan, moan, moan but honestly I hate this b****y pump....Finally got on to eshop to buy 1 of basic stuff -4 items... It still added VAT despite filling in form... And with Vat came to £102.60..Thats crazy and it was only 1 of 4 items I would have to use for this lump of ****. No spares for washing times.Honestly... Never been this so fed up ever with my diabetes.Before nobody knew unless I told them cos pump was under clothes and the tubing etc.. And just took out the remote to do anything...I couldn't go back gardening with this lump of ****.... I could do everything on remote protected with screen cover before.. Now I would just end up with mud etc all over.. Places I work etc I used to just bung my remote in my. Gardening bag and that was it.. Now I would have to undo my coats, find a tap, get my tester.. Wait ages for it...take machine off, reattach it, put coats back on... And that not good if I was hypo or desperate need to use an outdoor loo etc.I am honestly so wound up... Its just a lump attached to me now that highligts my diabetes...already get enough stares from being a uniboobee....Ggggrrrrr...</blockquote>
