Well done, yes always if possible change canula before meal or snack so you can bolus and check that its ok.

Why are you having doubts? Its early days and a lot to take in. Did you really really want the pump or is it something that has been offered and you wernt sure? Pumps are great but not necessarily the right thing for everyone.

It does take a little while to get used to - but not as long as you'd think. Hang in there, I'm sure before long you'll be singing the pump's praises with the rest of us!
 
Yup, took me a few goes to get used to it and to work out where works best for me.

Well done, the first is always the worst...

There is a small percentage of people who don't get on with a pump and decided to hand them back, but they are few and far between
 
yh hopefully il be joining u lot soon and telling everyone how good it is 🙂

since this morning though, ive felt the bit where the cannula is, is a bit nippy sometimes... but my sugar levels have been fine so i know the insulin is still going in. is it normal for it to be a bit nippy or should i be worried? lol
