Hello all, I'm a 21 year old Type 1 sufferer. If I remember correctly I was diagnosed in 2010 or 2011. In this time my journey has been super rocky, I went into DKA in January this year (that's a long story) and at some point I'm going to be referred for a CGM (when I get it all depends on whether my team at home will refer me and if not I have to wait until I go back to uni where my team there will definitely refer me).
I'm considering whether to go back on a pump, around 5/6 years ago I was on the omnipod but I'm super skinny and struggle to gain weight so the pod was constantly hitting muscle and bleeding. Would a different kind of pump (the wired ones) work for me? I'm currently 6st 7lb, I know a pump would benefit me a lot as I struggle with finding the motivation to do my injections, its just my weight issues that I'm worried about.
Thank you!
