"Okay, here is a new quirk I have discovered. The meter lets you set a reminder to change the infusion set in 48 or 72 hours. I have mine set for 72 hours (3 days). It turns out the reminder is based on calendar days. IOW, if you changed your…"

"I've had the same problem when I'm around a lot of metal or electric appliances. Fluorescent lights could also be an issue as I know they affect cellular signals too. I've learned not to be standing by the refrigerator and stove when…"

"Thanks Abby, I wasn;t told this. The pump is usually in my back pock so maybe that is the problem. Seems a bit of a nuisance."

Dee commented on Marcelo Bellon Ferreira's group 'Roche Accu-Chek Spirit Insulin Pump Users'
"The bluetooth symbol Has stopped flashing and I get a bolus advice, then I try to give the bolus and it says Communication Warning and tells me to Manual Pump. I thought the whole point was that you could tuck the pump away somewhere discreet and…"

Abby commented on Marcelo Bellon Ferreira's group 'Roche Accu-Chek Spirit Insulin Pump Users'
"Yes I order from accu-chek but don't have to pay due to the NHS in England so works well for me. They certainly last a lot longer than the ones provided with the spirit (and the original provided with the combo). Dee - I've had it a few…"

Mike Ratrie commented on Marcelo Bellon Ferreira's group 'Roche Accu-Chek Spirit Insulin Pump Users'
"Dee, I would think that you will see the Communication Warning anytime you have been out of range and then turn on the meter, or if you have just turned on the pump screen for any reason. Whenever I see the bluetooth symbol flashing, I wait until it…"

Dee commented on Marcelo Bellon Ferreira's group 'Roche Accu-Chek Spirit Insulin Pump Users'
"How often should I expect to see Communication Warning. I've been using the combo for a week and have had this about 5 times and have had to manually set the pump."

Craig C commented on Marcelo Bellon Ferreira's group 'Roche Accu-Chek Spirit Insulin Pump Users'
"Once I use up the supply of alkaline cells that came with the Combo I'll switch to lithiums. Abby - do you order your batteries from Accu-Chek Supplies? I never have; I just get them at the store. I'm kind of partial to the Duracell Ultra…"

Abby commented on Marcelo Bellon Ferreira's group 'Roche Accu-Chek Spirit Insulin Pump Users'
"Not sure which ones you use, but I was told to ask for lithium batteries and not the batteries I used for my Spirit. At first I continued using them, until I aced a other order and got about a month out of those, but so far 6 weeks out of the…"

Mike Ratrie commented on Marcelo Bellon Ferreira's group 'Roche Accu-Chek Spirit Insulin Pump Users'
"Okay fellow Combo users (Combonites?), here is what the pump support folks told me regarding the batteries - Expect approximately 4 weeks. While this is WAY shorter than the old Aviva meter, this meter does a LOT more. The rep mentioned that I can…"

Craig C commented on Marcelo Bellon Ferreira's group 'Roche Accu-Chek Spirit Insulin Pump Users'
"I seem to get about a month and a half of battery life in the meter itself and about a month or so on the pump. All in all though I really like the new system."

Hi Marcello,

There is an Insulin Pumpers Group and all the other brands are there as "sub-groups" except for the Accu-Chek Spirit Group. I just thought that anyone who was looking for insulin pumping would be more likely to see your group there.

Fair Winds,
Mike

Hello, Marcelo, I welcome you to TuDiabetes. I am also an Accu-chek Spirit user. I have used their pumps for 18 years. I love having the second pump.
