Hi everyone.
I’m type 1 and have been for the last 22 years. Previously my control hasn’t been good, but since doing DAFNE 18 months ago I have been having Hba1c results of 6.4% so mega pleased. That’s through using what I learnt on DAFNE, carb counting, lifestyle changes and pure hard work but so worth it.
Clearly with my Hba1c of 6.4% I don’t meet criteria for a pump. But, I remember reading somewhere quality of life is also a considered factor. I’m currently injecting basal twice per day and bolus up to 7 times a day (for snacks, correction (not that often though for correction) split doses at dinner etc). Has anyone experienced getting a pump based on a higher number of MDI?
Thanks in advance and stay safe everyone
