[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 371890, member: 17713"] With accuchek you can set priming (the tubes) to varying amounts, mine is set at 25 units as I have 100cm tubes. However with the flexlinks you have to put them in and then prime (i think their reccomended prime is 0.7) the cannula. Under certain programmes the 1 unit will be thought of as a correction unit. This then the pump thinks is insulin on board so will play against any food you have... Ie we are told to do set changes before food bolus.. Never before bed.. If we then eat food unless you use the right programme the pump will bolus less!! Much easier with rapid's as you prime them before they go in.. But then as stainless steel, they do have to be chnged every 2 days.. Theres ways around everything though. [/QUOTE]
