New with the insulin pump: YPSOMED MYLIFE YPSOPUMP + FREESYLE FREE 3

What a joy to read your comment Fer, I am going to start with the Ypsopump and Free 3, I really want but also the typical nerves for the novelty.A slightly silly question: notes the cannula?It hurts or is it uncomfortable?Yesterday I saw her and it seemed big.Does I do something to feel the guy who clicks to me .. How do you wear the skin?Is it very punished?

Can we know more or less how much glycosilada has improved?

How time passes!Just a year ago I shared with you the news of my first day with the insulin bomb, after 26 years of living with the bowling.I can't help looking back and smiling when remembering the nerves of the first day, three hours of training, cable fears and that first scare on the motorcycle ... 😅

Now, after these 12 months of experience, I can say that the bomb has been a before and after day to day.The biggest advantages that I have noticed with respect to the bolis are:

🔹 Sleep of the pull every night: except for once again that I wake up a warning to change the reservoir, the rest of the nights are pure peace and rest.This is a luxury that I had not experienced in a long time.

🔹 Improvement in my HBA1C and the IRR (time in range): stability in glucose levels has improved considerably.Now my range is much more constant and the peaks are less frequent.

🔹 Ease to carry it on it: it is true that at the beginning the cable and carry it in my belt they found it uncomfortable, but now it is another extension of me.I don't even realize and I have learned to avoid the typical hooks in chairs and doors.

🔹 Perfect adaptation for sport: I have managed to improve my sports routine.Basal control during exercise allows me to adjust the levels much better, avoiding sudden peaks and descents.

In short, it has been a very positive change.Looking back, I can't help thinking about why I didn't take the step before.I know that each person is a world, but for me it has been an incredible advance.

If you are doubting the change, from my experience, I can only say that for me it has been a great success.

Does anyone else have recently taken the step?

How about your experience?💬👇

A huge hug to all!💙

Now, after these 12 months of experience, I can say that the bomb has been a before and after in my daily life.The biggest advantages that I have noticed regarding pens are:

🔹 Sleep soundly every night: Except occasionally when a notice wakes me up to change the reservoir, the rest of the nights are pure peace and rest.This is a luxury I haven't experienced in a long time.

🔹 Improvement in my HbA1c and TIR (Time in Range): Stability in glucose levels has improved considerably.Now my range is much more consistent and the spikes are less frequent.

🔹 Ease of carrying it: It is true that at first the cable and carrying it on my belt were somewhat uncomfortable for me, but now it is another extension of me.I don't even notice it anymore and I have learned to avoid the typical snags on chairs and doors.

🔹 Perfect adaptation for sport: I have managed to improve my sports routine.Controlling basal rates during exercise allows me to adjust levels much better, avoiding sudden peaks and drops.

In short, it has been a very positive change.Looking back, I can't help but think about why I didn't take the step sooner.I know that each person is different, but for me it has been an incredible advance.

Anyone else here who has recently taken the plunge?

How was your experience?💬👇

A huge hug to everyone!💙

A question, to do sports on the ground, if you crawl, it may be.annoying, right?Isn't it better to disconnect it if it is an hour? I think it would bother me for abs, push-ups and floor exercises.The same if I swim for more than an hour.I have heard that in those cases you can take a bolus before disconnecting.

And to sleep, how do you do it?and this is more for women, how do you do it for dresses, especially in summer but in general, if they are tighter.Thank you

@Cuevast the cannula is not noticeable when you wear it, only something when you apply a bolus, but come on, not much, perhaps the most noticeable thing is when you remove the catheter after wearing it for several days, which leaves a mark for a while, somewhat greater than injections, but it can be managed by changing more often and rotating.

The glyco has improved me easily more than 1 point, but what I value above all is the peace of mind that the pump gives me, and that I can sleep!!!

@meginer I normally take it off to do sports, and I have no problem doing sit-ups and so on, you just have to be as careful as with the sensor, and check if it goes up or down, to tell you something, I do elliptical without a problem with the pump on.

To sleep it's a bit of a pain, because you have to be careful not to crush it, I use a clamp and hang the pump on the neck of my pajamas, so no matter what I move, normally it never bothers me and I sleep through it!

I had been with feathers for 25 years, and now I wouldn't go back.

I sleep on my side, I don't know..., I know that there are people who even let her loose around the bed, just a matter of seeing.

If you take it off for some activity, I understand that it is quick and easy to take it off and put it on, right?, and that you can continue to see how you are with the sensor until you put it on again.

Hello Fer, I have an appointment with an endocrinologist in December and it is an option that I am considering, I have been with feathers for more than 40 years and I am not very sure but like all of you who have had a blast, you are so happy... I don't have bad control, glycation of 5.8 but perhaps with more effort than necessary and nights that you don't know why, it increases,

A question, to do sports on the ground, if you crawl, it may be.annoying, right?Isn't it better to disconnect it if it is an hour? I think it would bother me for abs, push-ups and floor exercises.The same if I swim for more than an hour.I have heard that in those cases you can take a bolus before disconnecting.

And to sleep, how do you do it?and this is more for women, how do you do it for dresses, especially in summer but in general, if they are tighter.Thank you

Greetings and have a great time with that wonderful Ypsopump

Good afternoon, allow me to give you my experience on this issue of carrying the bomb because at first I had the same doubts.In my case, both the infusers and the MCG Freestyle 3 + are carried on my legs, so for sports I tie the Ypsopump with kinesiology tape to my hip, which allows me to do sit-ups, pull-ups, Burpees, push-ups, rowing, etc. without bothering me at all.At night to sleep I use a belt for that pump that you can put on the side, front or back, where it least bothers you.For swimming, waterproof bag for insulin pump and tied back to the thigh.And if I go to the street boxer with pockets and that's it, you won't even notice.I hope I have helped.

Greetings and have a great time with that wonderful Ypsopump

It was so you could inform me a little.Thank you.

I also sleep on my side, that's exactly why I put it on my neck, I've also tried using a clip on my pajama pants, but every time I turn around, I have to move the pump on my side.

Isn't it very annoying on the collar of the pajamas?

Hello, I use this tape that has a bag. Link, I wear it underneath my underwear right at the top and the truth is that I don't even realize it, it's a part of me.Depending on where I have the catheter, I put it in the left or right area in the gap just above the groin.

I have had a pump for eight years and this treadmill is wonderful, sport, work, sleep, etc. I used to have Insight and now I have had Ypsopump for about 9 months, which is a little smaller.
