HI ALL HOPE ALL WELL

any way keep on pumping and if you have a I PAD I HAVE A I PUMP ....ha ha ha

From memory I recall this happening to me once or twice - annoying on the Combo.

The Insight allows you to cancel if you incorrectly ask for a cartridge change, from what I've done it only allows the cartridge change to start if you remove the cartridge pump cover. You cancel back to the main menu from the side buttons.

I'm a flex (teflon) rather than steel cannula user, I find steel too uncomfortable when moving / exercising.

Wow since 1957 - thats about 13 yrs before me, that's some achievement. Those old days of sharpening steel needles, chemical kits for urine sugar tests, glass syringes kept in surgical spirit - we've come a along way since then.
