[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2510647, member: 365308"] Hello Never heard of a 2nd battery! I plug my Tandem into a phone charger type plug either once a week or daily (if I remember to do so whilst in the shower). Pump nurse said to plug it in daily to keep it easily topped up but it doesn't drain fast at all and will alarm when getting anywhere near out of juice rather as your current one does if the battery is going low I presume? I prefer to use my Tandem with the Dexcom sensor but its currently easy to plug in my fsl readings (good old NHS has messed up my Dexcom supplies) and calculate a bolus dose from there. Programming is very easy too for the basal dosing. I am using Novorapid (10ml bottles). I've had to get used to new things with the Tandem having previously had a Roche one for 8 years and the latter 4 with easy refilling via a cartridge, but other than the flex being too long for my liking, it is great!
