[QUOTE="Jeannie87, post: 812646, member: 155592"] This is copied from my reply on the introduction forum.......Well I am back, took me a while to find my original post on here, was surprised it was January!! Update on my progress or lack of it with pump to follow. Apparently the only pump nurse at my clinic is away on long term sick leave, which means my lovely dietician who works part time, is rather overloaded with pump start up meetings. Took my husband along with me in early March to a meeting with her, and to take a look at two different pumps which are available. The one I liked was a very new one - can't recall now the exact name, but it was Accucheck and it was a Bluetooth affair with remote control dosage on the blood test meter. So, it was agreed as soon as my dietician could manage a start up meeting, with other new to the pump diabetics. I would give it a go. Well that was almost a month ago, and it's given me way too much thinking time.
