i was given a pump without the consultant permission but the dietitian/nurses said it was fine, they didn't see the consultant as it was the day after my appointment that they were doing the pump therapy group sessions.
So i got the insight pump and a week and 3 days later my sugars went hi as on mdi it was 15-17 constantly but for some reason on the pump straight away i noticed alot of low sugars my average was 4-8, my main concern is now the consultant wants to see me on the 28th but im worried he may try and take it of me?
My nurses told me not to use the pump as i had a faulty one to begin with but now have a replacement and set it up i'm ringing them tomorrow to tell them i want to go back on it tomorrow as then i can have a week of testing till they open up to change the rates as i was having frequent unexpected hypos on it.
My account isn't set up with roche yet but i guess as we started in the christmas period they have taken their time with it but i got enough supplies here to go back on for 30 days
i miss using it but i wish i was on it over christmas to get used to it and understand changes on christmas day
