Didn't realise the Veo came with a remote they didn't show me that when I chose mine earlier this month. Wonder what it does? Let us know when you get to that page! It looks great by the way, I've chosen a silver one only hope I like it as much x
I am now resisting the temptation to start playing with the pump. I haven't even put the battery in yet. We'll have the Medtronic rep there when I go live so I guess we'll do all the setting up there. Any ideas? I may well nip over an ask later on...
Are you getting a chance to play with saline? It seems a bit cruel to let you have the pump sitting there all shiny and not let you play with it for a fortnight! I did find the saline made going live on insulin less daunting. 🙂
No, they're not giving me saline but hey I'm ready for anything. I am sorely tempted to go live on insulin without the help of my team but something tells me it's not worth it! Hehehe. Time for some more cynicism on the thread about the local election somewhere else on here...
And I've given in to the temptation and put some batteries in my pump, I had a brief fiddle with the date and time. Played with it some more this afternoon. Got the battery change too slow warning. Ah well! Taken them out again so all is well. I've had a little play with it and the pump is the 2.5 version of the 554 Veo. It takes one point eight millilitre reservoirs and it's tiny! Going on the calculations we did yesterday I reckon my reservoirs will last about three days give or take. This should be damn good! I so can't wait to go onto insulin...
Just given the pump a nice few scratches when I was out gardening. So much goes when you forget it's strapped to you and when you lean against a brick wall to scrape mud off your boots! Ah well, good thing is that it doesn't look so box fresh now which I like!
Oh no! Thats the difference between you and me- I couldnt cope with that at all!
I got a free screen protector with my new mobile this week which you cut to size and have put on my pump as well. Its brill. I got it from T Mobile if its somethign you are interested in. Its only a quid or two........but you seem to like the scratches!
