[QUOTE="Assimilator1, post: 2510115, member: 9192"] Good to hear it charges quickly, that's something anyway, my trouble would be remembering to do it. I'm not kidding either. Pump capacity isn't a problem for me, I only fill the reservoir with ~170 units and there's still some left at 3 days. I have heard of Libre 2 and 3, but what are the announcements you refer to? Got a link? Thanks for your reply, and congrats on the baby to come :). Re charging it, yea I did wonder if that was done, my problem would be remembering to do that. I could see I would often forget to do that for several weeks.... And about catching the Omnipod, yea remember I said I am a car mechanic, that quite often entails e.g laying in the footwell (on my side or back) to get under the dash, leaning on my front over the slam panel and engine to get to things some way down, which sometimes means getting my arms right down too etc. As it is atm with my pump's infuser and the Libre sensors, I quite often catch those, although mostly they don't get torn off. Additionally on long drives, if I have an infuser on my back, or on the front where the seatbelt goes it can get quite sore, a pump there would make it much worse! Good to hear the insulin can last longer than 2 days, but can it consistently last 3 days? My current infusers will nearly always last 3 days, and usually last 3.5-4 days (when I over shoot), but not consistently. I don't commute with my car, so it's quite often not used during the week (my social life isn't much atm either!), sure I could charge it whilst I'm watching TV etc, but I know what will happen, assuming I remember to put it on charge in the 1st place, I will forget I have it on charge and try and walk off with it connected, possibly tearing off the infuser or damaging the pump, but even if not, it will annoy the s*** out of me! Thanks for your replies so far guys, would be interested to hear from other users too still. [/QUOTE]
