Hi@markstin putting you on a pump should be the best idea; I m pregnant and my diabetic doctor suggest to put me on a pump at least till I ll deliver my baby
I'm afraid it's not quite as simple as just "putting someone on a pump"... They tend to be reserved for those who are really struggling.
Due to the huge costs surrounding pumps and the strict criteria to be met for eligibility. It would be extremely unlikely for
@markastin's to be eligible. Especially because the time since diagnosis is so small and there has been no correspondence with ANY of the diabetes team.
Dawn phenomenon is a complete pain for a lot of us diabetics, but it can be dealt with on MDI. It's just not as simple as on a pump. I'd have a go with the bolus correction first, bearing in mind that 1u rapid acting insulin will lower you around 2-3mmol/L. Once you are scheduled for an appointment with the diabetes team, suggest splitting your Lantus dose and then you can try the overlapping injection approach to see if this helps any.
Good luck and stick at it! There's loads of threads on dawn phenomenon and various techniques to reduce it's impact on your BG. Some funky approaches include a glass of wine before bed and vinegar tablets! The first method is 100x better than pump therapy anyway
