Went to see the dietician today and we got talking about my eratic bloods. She asked what pump i'd opted for and told her the Paradigm Veo. :) :) She asked how quickly i would like to get my pump and i replied obviously "yesterday please." She couldn't oblige but said if i could come next...

ihs, so sorry i'm that garbage on computers i don't know how to do personal messages and still don't. Sorry!!! Hazey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, saw the DSN the other day and after lots of thinking and consultation i've decided to go for a pump. I was given 3 pumps to pick from, they are: "Animas 2020" "Paradigm Veo" and "Accu Chek Combo." Although she wasn't biased she didn't seem too keen on the Combo because it had what looked...

Hi Fallenstar, no i've been quite rough recently, lethargic, fatigue etc so i think he's just trying to cover all aspects. Oh well here's hoping and thanks for the reply!!!

Hi, wonder if anyone can help. I've been asked by my consultant if i would be prepared to go to hospital to have some tests as my Cortisol level is alarmingly low :shock: :shock: . Anyone had this done and if so what's it all about please!!!! :| :|

Thanks again to you all. Riri when you say things like "approved" what approved :? :? , see i'm a numpty :oops: :oops: . I've got an appointment on the 15th Sept with a DSN who actually is on a pump herself so she should be a mine of info, not that the other DSN's don't know their stuff but...

Help, i've looked at the NICE guidelines but can't find anywhere the list with costs :oops: :oops: , anyone help :roll: ?????

Hi ihs, thanks or the info and the welcome back to the forum :) . As i said i do fancy trying a pump. The bit in the middle you said about the learning curve was all chinese to me but thanks anyway. As you state it really is a big decision but it will help speaking to the DSN's as i have a...

Thanks so much for the replies. Basically speaking my levels were at one point very high and no matter what i did or my consultant i couldn't get them down. Now they're up and down all the time and i have very little hypo awareness until i hit the deck so that's why i think he's suggested a...

Hi all, been asked by consultant to go on a pump as he thinks that it would help me a lot. Scared, uneducated, concerned. I'm looking around best I can but would like help from people who have been in same situation (basically all of you). I do want to and I don't want to. What the hell am I...

Thank you for your kind words and advice. I agree and i'm going to look after myself, it's all about my wife now. Regards Hazey

Hi and thanks to you all, not really sure ihs, i had a real funny do which i don't remember, ambulance and then came around 24 hrs later in a hospital bed in MRI. I'd alledgedly been rambling and talking to people living and who had died in the past and all that. Put on a sliding scale for 5...

Hi all, sorry not been on for a while but i've been ill. As most of you know i've really been struggling with very high blood sugars. Had a stint in hospital for 10 days and thankfully it seems to have done the trick i'm back in the 4.5 to 8 range which for me is a miracle. :) :) Just to...

Hi ihs, to be honest i forgot to mention that he said that if there was no improvement in the next 2 to 3 weeks i had to phone and tell them. I have found that i have had better control since being on MDI albeit when i wasn't struggling. I think he's getting worried as well as each time i walk...
