[QUOTE="Jeannie87, post: 816625, member: 155592"] I've made my decision today (you will all be so relieved I have done this ha ha) seriously, Spiker, you really nailed it on the head for me, I have declined the offer of a pump via email today to my dietitian. All things considered and I really have considered "all things" in depth, I don't feel my diabetes is at a stage where I am needing a pump. If you like, I am happy with my results, my tests and my life as a diabetic, it's not causing me any great traumas or problems, so "if it's not broke don't fix it". I have asked my dietician to allocate my place to someone more in need of the pump than me, which is only fair. I have also said "may I reconsider in June when I get my annual review and HBAC1 results" if the result is not good, then I will try the pump if that's ok, but otherwise I am quite happy to be as I am, nothing in diabetes is perfect, but I feel on reading other people's stories of how they came to be on the pump, one way and another, my need is nowhere near as great as their's. So I am happy to have made a decision at loooong last, signing off today from Utopia thanks again for your input, most valuable and relevant [/QUOTE]
