[QUOTE="Ash2014, post: 742917, member: 138505"] I thought you were in Scotland [USER=155274]@ClaireCissie[/USER] since we all seem to get given the Veo with no other pump choice! It's a fab pump though and so exciting starting the pump! I have such a fab relationship with it now compared to struggling along with MDI for 20 years! You have been given a large quantity of supplies! It will need its own cupboard space lol I only get 3 boxes of each! As [USER=110569]@dancer[/USER] has said the mio infusion sets are great but can cause issues if you don't get the technique right. To begin with I had the tubing clipped onto the inset before I pulled it back so it was actually pushing the cannula up the needle hardly leaving any exposed and had a few "curly cannulas"! Ketones kick in very quickly on the pump as it relying purely on quick acting. Have you got the 180 or 300 sized pump? You will get used to it. I keep it in my bra during the day and just rolls about the bed at night lol you can get some nice covers from [url="http://www.ipsox.co.uk"]www.ipsox.co.uk[/url], also make it a bit more comfortable to wear in your bra! Keep us updated on how you get on :D [/QUOTE]
