[QUOTE="victry77, post: 905679, member: 23137"] I don't actually like my pump DSN so the less contact I have with her the better, I'm afraid to say. While the steel cannulas have been better, the adhesive is so poor, I've ripped them out I don't know how many times. I've already got two patches on me and don't want to be sticking tape and plasters on as well. I'm finding it incredibly cumbersome to wear with my clothes without it looking like I've got a bizarre square growth sticking out of me and I'm rapidly losing motivation to manage it effectively. Sometimes things are working, sometimes they're not, so it's back to the drawing board time and time again. Now, I'm doing things like completely forgetting to switch profiles or in the middle of an activity, I'll suddenly remember that I haven't done a temp basal. Plus, the worry that the insulin hasn't delivered or that I'm going to encounter a problem when I'm out and about is not something I previously had. Thanks to people such as Donnelly, I got my doses working really well, but that was with so much hard work and constant testing that I'm failing right now as I'm so caught up in other things. I haven't decided to come off it permanent, but right now I've got a real block with using the pump. [/QUOTE]
