[QUOTE="stoney, post: 308010, member: 22612"] Thanks for reply Jopar. Would you believe it, first day back at school and James was woken this morning with his pump bleeping to say he has only 20 units of insulin left. So instead of the planned change over tomorrow before tea, it was sprung on us to do it this morning. Everything I learned just went out of the window, panicking but James managed to get through it. We were also going to see his school nurse and his DSN was also meeting us at the school. So James tested his BG before he left for school and it was 15.5 so we left it until we got to school. So he tested it again and it went to 15.9 and he said the site was hurting. (I have now ordered some tea tree cream to treat the sites). So the nurse suggested the site at the back instead of his tummy. We went through a changeover of cannular again, by this time my head was spinning. He tested again, at 11am and got back down to 8.4 so everything was ok and for the rest of the day. I also asked her can we do a temp basal rate of his football as last night he had a reading of 4.9 half way through and took 3 jelly babies to bring him up. She went through it and boy that went out of my head. Can anyone give me an idiots guide how to do this as James has another football training tomorrow night and a match on Saturday His BG was good when he got home at 7.4 before shower. Then before bed after supper was 6.4. James was concerned that he would drop in the night so had a biscuit and went to bed. Reading this morning was 6.4 before breakfast so did the biscuit do anything, did he really need it, nurse said he didn't ?. Why is there not enough information (Idiots Guide) down to the last detail for changing and priming a Flexlink infusion set . Is there one does anyone know. The Book I don't think gives you enough detail, well in my opinion any way. Thanks for listening :wave: OMG I am rambling. Better go and calm down. [/QUOTE]
