Finally started on my pump (Accu-Chek Combo) yesterday after a long, long wait.
The Roche rep and DSN were great, and very patient, in setting me up.
The first BG after starting was too high, so I took a correction dose as recommended by the machine, which sent me into a hypo. Hey ho, residual Lantus I guess. Since then all OK.
The only problem was that flailing my arms around in bed last night, I managed to yank on the tubing. It didn't dislodge the cannula (Roche steel D-link), but it was very sore this morning so I decided to change it. Now, comfort restored.
I've put on a little bit of tape to hold down the cannula 'tail' and I hope this will lessen the impact if I do the same again. Any other suggestions?
