[QUOTE="Herbie72, post: 231847, member: 37782"] Thanks Jopar - I've actually been on the pump for just over a year now, so I'm not entirely new to it anymore, but compared to the length of time I've had diabetes, it still feels new! Your de-gassing tip sounds great, thanks - I'll give that a go next time I do a new cartridge. To be honest, when the Roche rep came into the hospital a year ago and talked a few of us through the pump and showed us how it worked, it did feel as though the introduction process was a bit rushed. We had no practise on saline like some people, so I did feel a bit of a guinea pig. I have a meeting with my DSN on Wednesday morning, so I'll talk to her about it, too. :thumbup: Golly, you must have seen some technological advances in your 50 years of having it; it's a different world now to what it was when I was diagnosed in 1983, so I can't imagine what it must have been like in the early sixties :shock: [/QUOTE]
