[QUOTE="Deleted member 83869, post: 658168"] I was diagnosed in 2008...and for the first 4/5 years a pump really didn't interest me....it scared me more than anything! But my Hba1C had always been over 100 and DKA a number of times...no matter what dosage of insulin I was on I still wasn't getting my Hba1c down...maybe I didn't have the right control? Who knows? But it wasn't until I went on Dafne about 2 years ago that a pump started to appeal for me and it wasn't until my last bout of DKA that I eventually asked if I would be considered for one....and then I was! And ever since being on the pump my Hba1c has finally come down to a 77 after being diagnosed for 6 years...I have finally got there! It takes a lot of hard hard work and having the right attitude and without the help of [USER=17713]@donnellysdogs[/USER] my hba1c would still be high! I have had another blood test today ad my hba1c will be tested again so I hope that it has come down since! but a pump really is not easy! Yes it makes life seem easier but there is still alot of hard work involved [/QUOTE]
