Cannula: yep, rip it out. No art to it.

Bra: no idea.

Supplies: I have a small leather bag (about size of a thick novel). In it I have spare insulin, syringe, set, reservoir, tegarderm which I use under the set, wipes. Basically, everything for an emergency and a change of set. This just sits in my normal bag that goes everywhere with me.

If I don't want my bag with me, insulin and pen/syringe is the minimum you want on you. This is in case your pump get a no delivery and you need a bolus to cover. I would still take my pump supplies with me if I expect to be gone more than a few hours, covering a long time on injected rapid boluses would not be easy or fun.

For this, I stick a penfill and syringe in my tester case, virtually forget it's there.

Testing: I typically test 6 - 10 times a day. Wake, before meals, 2 hr after and bedtime are the important ones in my book. Then basically any time things are different (like exercise) or I think things have not quite gone to plan (which unfortunately is common for me).

As for corrections, there are times when they are not such a good idea. The comments above about IOB are useful, get used to having an idea and checking what is in your system and what is likely to happen. A better handle on this will come with time and practice.

If you have just had a bolus and a meal in the last hour or so, you might have spiked but it might be coming down. Unless you severely spike or eat few carbs, your IOB after a meal will probably mean that a correction is minimal or non-existent anyway (depending on pump, too). It makes sense to let the bolus/meal run a certain amount of it's course before attempting to make a correction. Personally I'd correct at maybe 3 hours on from a meal if I'm feeling things really got away. Apart from that, anytime.

Have fun!
