12.01.2022 hi everyone- just a little up date with this whole COVID-19 situation. A few people tell me they are having trouble getting pump supplies. I have spoken to both Medtronic and AMSL and there is stock in the country but the warehouses that supply the chemists have been emptied! They should be getting stock this week and have been told to order extra given the current situation. Please let me know if you need anything- I have a few bits and pieces at work. Also, The messsge i...s wash your hands regularly cough into your elbow don’t touch your face! Keeping in range BGLs will help your immune system Review your sick day plan. Have sugary drinks on hand in case you need them and don’t panic! See more
