Hi All
I am in the process of deciding if a pump is right for me. My doctors have suggested that it would give me better control and upon researching I do see that this may be true. However, I'm visually Impaired which only a little useful vision remaining. I was wondering if anyone could tell me how accessible the pump systems are. What's the contracts on the screens like? I know some come with a remote, how accessible are these? how big is the writing? Also how fiddly is inserting the infusion set and connecting the tubes? I am considering this but if I cannot manage my pump independently then its not going to be for me. Any advice or experience would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
