[QUOTE="Snapsy, post: 1054814, member: 265172"] Very pleased for you [USER=267759]@Sarahkylie88[/USER]! Hope tomorrow goes well. I've been pumping only since October (Insight, not Omnipod), and it's amazing! I had more sleepless nights about it in the run-up to my pump start than I had in the run-up to my wedding, because it meant so, so much to me. It was very very different to what I was used to, and the first two weeks were particularly full-on with familiarising myself with life with the pump. But in some ways it felt like much less of a big thing than I'd been anticipating! Love it, love it, love it. I find it particularly liberating not to have to eat all the time (on MDI I had frequent hypos and was always having to eat). Advice for the changeover period: be kind to yourself, and stick with it. You will find some things harder than you'd thought, but a lot of it will be easier than you'd thought. Don't expect perfect numbers. It's a process to get your basal rates sorted, but you will get there. Hoping all goes well tomorrow - do keep us posted! [/QUOTE]
