Message: <blockquote data-quote="urbangiraffe" data-source="post: 1506228" data-attributes="member: 290357"><p>I've been on Roche's Accu-Chek Insight pump for a couple of years, having upgraded from the Spirit Combo. I can't wait to come off it when the warranty expires. The main issue for me is that the user interface is soooo slow on the handset - there are so many screens and it takes an age to load each one - that frequently it times out mid process (whilst I have been distracted onto something else), and I forget that my bolus hasn't actually been delivered. The fact that this happens and that there is no reminder - "you entered carbs, did you want to deliver a bolus?" makes the pump, in my eyes, not fit for purpose. Due to this issue, I now frequently miss boluses and my long-term control has deteriorated massively. I have spoken with my DSN and the pump manufacturer regularly about this over the years I have been on it, the pump has been replaced, but no solution can be found. And so I have been stuck on it until the warranty runs out and the NHS Trust will agree to move me to a different pump. The handset also has regular electronic errors, and again it has been replaced but no solution found. So frustrating.</p></blockquote><p></p>
