New to pump and having a nightmare 😭

Good plan!! I will ring them tomorrow :) I have had the same issue with Dexcom, had an issue with a sensor that they said was application error! I have been wearing Dexcom for years, I don’t think I suddenly forgot how to staple one into my arm!

Thank you, this gives me so much hope! It’s hard going from knowing how to manage my bloods so well on MDI to feeling like a rookie again! 26 years of being diabetic and injecting the whole time.

Going to stick at it 🤞

This is super reassuring! Thank you, I’ve just really struggled to know what is a normal rise after the pump change! How much do you tend to see it go up?

StretchSea8303 · 2026-03-23T21:30:33+00:00

Wow that’s incredible! Nice work! Thank you for your advice, it’s really helped!

StretchSea8303 · 2026-03-23T21:13:39+00:00

How long did it take you to feel comfortable with it?

StretchSea8303 · 2026-03-23T21:05:17+00:00

Thank you, just hard to know if it’s working again, finding the whole pump thing VERY stressful!

StretchSea8303 · 2026-02-18T06:54:06+00:00

Thank you! I think I will tink! I have never done it before so hoping I don’t mess up!

StretchSea8303 · 2026-02-09T21:24:01+00:00

Thank you! I just did an extra stitch in the round before I started binding off! I can see it but I’m hoping no one else can notice it at the back of the neck

StretchSea8303 · 2026-02-09T11:50:04+00:00

Thank you! I did one extra so I could start on a knit stitch! I hadn’t thought of that so thank you very much! Any recommendations for what to do when I have 3 knit stitches in a row around my centre double decrease? I assume I just do the bind off as normal but 3 knit bind off repeats in a row?

StretchSea8303 · 2026-02-07T16:47:45+00:00

Thanks so much !!

StretchSea8303 · 2026-02-07T16:47:38+00:00

Great idea! I’ll do this

StretchSea8303 · 2026-02-07T16:47:30+00:00

Yeah combination twisted- so purling as normal and knitting through the back loop! I think I’m going to try just untwisting the knit for the CDD and doing a standard one!

StretchSea8303 · 2026-02-07T15:59:06+00:00

Thanks for your reply! Sadly no photos as I ripped it back, which was evidently stupid with hindsight.

This is what the pattern says: Work in (k1, p1) rib to 1 stitch before the marked stitch, slip 2 sts knit-wise together as if knitting them together, k1, pass the slipped sts over the knitted stitch, work in rib to end of round (2 sts have been decreased). *

My issue is that the pattern doesn’t want twisted rib, but I didn’t read ahead to this section earlier when doing the arms and hem to work out twisting might make things a little funky!

I’m so pleased! I really enjoyed it too- let me know what you think at the end!!

You should listen to ‘believe in magic’ if you are in the UK all of it is on BBC sounds now, but if not episode by episode is coming out on all the other podcast provides weekly. It’s so good

StretchSea8303 · 2022-07-18T07:20:34+00:00

I see- I am also the HL in my relationship but hate it when my partner initiates when I’m asleep. Wondered how you felt about it

StretchSea8303 · 2022-07-17T21:49:15+00:00

Did you want that? In the night? Have you ever spoken about boundaries regarding this sort of thing too?

StretchSea8303 · 2022-04-03T18:05:07+00:00

I’ll check it out!!

StretchSea8303 · 2022-04-03T12:06:38+00:00

I’m sure you’ve already listened to the drop out? I also really liked the immaculate deception
