[QUOTE="SpikyMike, post: 397394, member: 64030"] I've got the pump attached to my belt with a belt clip that I got from the rep, and will have a look at other ways to wear my pump. Had to do a cannula change (2nd one) and first cartridge change this morning. Ended up putting the cannula in lower than I should have, as it's right on the belt line, and rep told me not to put it there. The cartridge change didn't go to plan either, but got it eventually. It's not until you do these things yourself, that it sticks in your memory. So will see how my readings are today, and will change the cannula if it causes problems. Will have to go through the pump manual as well, which I've been putting off until now. The pump doesn't seem to display how many units of insulin it thinks is still in the cartridge. The only way I've seen this info is if I stop the pump, and press the button again, and it then brings up a quick info screen showing the insulin units remaining. Hopefully there will be something in the manual, as I've not been able to see anything in the menus. I know you can look at the cartridge itself, but it'd be nice to be able to check from the handset. Type 1 since 1969. [/QUOTE]
