@Applenerd81, I was like you. On pump, back to Mdi But DP and waking phenomenon means waking at 4 everyday toncope and again an hour before waking properly to give extra correction boluses.
I would do anything instead of going back to a pump
If I could but 4am waking is not sustainable constantly when not sleeping till 1-2am each night...
I went back to pump(s) recently and hated it all..hated having to wear the 640g on my waistband and visible etc.. then my old combo sets kept failing on me. I hate thought of going back to a pump again and actually having counselling to deal with it. I
literally hate the
Idea of having this "thing"
stuck to me on my waistband when my combo and insights were hidden on my arm.
I so prefer mdi. My biigest preference and non appreciated to be honest.
If I had a pump that had a long tube, remote, stainless steel 4.5 mm set I would be happy. The DANA pump would have been ideal but my hospital despite offering all types of pumps won't give DANA as they had battery problems and just dying. DANA also not selling as new pump due out in early 2017...
I so wish I could get my head wrapped round having a pump more visible. Its difficult. My mastectomy makes me feel very self conscious and Inhave to have steels as I'm so thin and flex ones block. All Accuchek sets have probs in my skin.
For me, I am at a complete loss... getting up at 4am and testing, pre correcting on mdi is killing me and hubby. Pump mentally throws me into a huge downward spural..
It is important for all T1's to consider pro's and cons... it can be a novelty to start off with but 6 years ago I remember people being more bothered by colour than functionality etc... its good to see more aspects being considered nowadays...
Whether injections or pump(?)) is down to finding a happy medium... it is unlikely that 100% of all aspects will be met currently.
