I've been getting loads of bent cannula problems. (I'm still new to the pump so it could be me doing it wrong!). I'm not fat so perhaps I need a baby size or something. Any suggestions? I use…Continue

Kalobe replied to Cocheze's discussion 'Has anyone tried the waist pouch from Minimed?' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"I have always used the plastic clip and clip the pump to my belt.

I was surprised that the others at my pump lessons hadn't been given the knowledge to carb count as it is fundamental to good…"
Kalobe replied to Cocheze's discussion 'Has anybody put an infusion set in their thigh?' in the group Minimed Paradigm Insulin Pump Users"I find it a bit hit and miss. I find it a job to miss the blood vessels and the absorbtion only lasts for a couple of days rather than three. I use silhouettes as I don't have a lot of fat."

We went up the middle. I have relatives in Edinburgh and Granton-on-Spey so we stayed with them. The bit through the Drumochter pass was lovely. There is a cycle road ( the old…"
Kalobe replied to Kevin McMahon's discussion 'Inviting Contributions for Paper To Teach Docs About Social Media'"Why do the medical folks think it is so bad to communicate with other diabetics? It's good to know that you are not alone and interesting to see how others cope. I was left for years as a new diabetic with no contact with any other diabetics. I…"
