thanks strawberry
Thanks for your welcome. I am wearing the pump just in my pocket at the moment, have tried the bra thing but it is bulky and uncomfortable I find. Can really see the square outline through my clothes! Yes, I had one session with an animas rep but I am 6 hrs round trip away from any help at the hospital where I got fitted. Just e mailing the educator now for assistance. I have had the pump just fall to the floor twice and ripped the line completely out, maybe taping might help. Will try, thanks. Yes, I have the book "pumping insulin" by John Walsh, also purchased from amazon but I got it ages ago, well before the pump and was overwhelmed by it to be honest! Have had a bit of a look at it since starting pump and yes it has been helpful. I find snacking between meals a pain though as levels will be high if I don't tell the pump what I am having. How do you get around this or don't you? I think I have my basal and everything set pretty right as if I don't eat or snack my levels are pretty consistently around 4-6. I have just fiddled with this myself as no one was really willing to do this with me during the first week as they wanted to see how I was going to go but I was constantly high so I changed all the levels myself!! Endo not much help as he is also 6 hrs round trip away too and like all endo's pretty stretched for time and hard to catch!
Thanks for your help and quick reply, yes you helped!
