Agree it is Bev,

My little one managed to unlock her pump last year and give self a bolus with some night-time fiddling (by pure fluke I should think in synchronizing buttons) 😱, so glad there is a max setting for such cases. Use the "block" now - live and learn lol!
 
Hi Hanmillmum,

That must have been scary for you!😱What do you mean 'block'?🙂Bev
 
The block feature on the medtronic is in utilities menu, it stops all functions apart from suspend and self test but allows the parent/carer to use the remote to bolus etc or take the block back off to do so. As it requires a bit more programing/button pressing to set up and take off it feels safer.

Hi Hanmillmum,

Thankyou. We also use the VEO but as Alex is 14 I wasnt aware of this function but it sounds great for little ones who might get a bit inquisitive at the wrong time! We havent ever used the remote as Alex felt it was too big but I know they are great for little ones - not having to move them around when they are asleep is a bonus. Mostly Alex's pump is easy to find during the night - but there have been times when it has wrapped itself around his stomach and then he lies on it and trying to move a sleepy 14 year old can be a bit tricky at 3 in the morning! Are you on the CWD list?🙂Bev

Yes, can imagine 14 yo lad is a little more bulky to shift, lol!
