I haven't been on for a while, would like to say it's because we are coping fabulously well but infact it's just cos life is crazy busy
Have just come back from the Hospital with Reece for his quarterly checks, Hba1C is 8.1% the hospital see as as good:?? However since going on Base Insulin 18 months ago, and going to bed on acceptable night time levels he always wakes up very high. I am aware that he is suffering with Dawn Phenomenon and check his bloods through the night for it to be climbing not maintaining. No amount of correction in units has resolved this so the hospital today said the best way forward was now the Insulin Pump. I'm not sure how i feel about this for many reasons and wondered what others thought.
Currently we are posted overseas in Germany and received nothing but fab care but we are moving back to UK at the end of June and wonder if they would still maintain the pump once in place...
Anny advice/help will be much appreciated
