[QUOTE="Jeannie87, post: 815482, member: 155592"] Can you believe this!! After all my umming and ahhing.....an email flooded in just now inviting me to a pump beginners three day course, end of April, from my rather over worked dietician, she has a place for me on this course and needs to know if the dates suit. It's divided into three separate days over a few weeks, pump to play with, pump start up, pump review. And as luck would have it, two of the dates are suitable but the third date is the date after my birthday, and we are booked into a hotel and away from home, so I couldn't make that date anyway. She informs me if these dates aren't suitable, another course will start up in May sometime. So I have to let her know, obviously I cannot do the April course, but the quandary still remains for me, do I email her and say sorry but no thanks this time or in May I have decided against it, or do I say April not suitable, but I will give it a try on the next available course in May. Two thirds of me has a gut feeling, I don't want a pump, and the other third, says why not try it in May. I am sorry to whinge on, on here, but it's the only place I can react with like minded diabetics. My husband feels after reviewing all the info I have let him read and after meeting the dietician and handling the pumps etc, that it's not for me. Although bless his heart he will be happy whatever I decide as long as I am happy. So my quandary remains. I will keep you posted. To be honest another two months swithering about what to do is going to be hanging over me, I am not sure whether I can go on so undecided. Maybe I just need to make a decision and stick with it .
