hey ,
as the title says I'm just after some friendly advice .
I'll try to explain my situation , I have not that long ago had a baby boy , his just over 10 months during pregnancy I experienced a lot of hypo ending up in him arriving a month early , since then the hypos have not stopped and have started to worry me as a few times I've hypoed during the night and only noticed as baby has woken me up which panics me , I've been working with my team trying to tweak and change my insulin and nothing seems to be stopping them there so random and have no pattern to them , they have now put me forward to go onto the pump to try and cut down on the hypos , as they have explained I can fine tune on the pump , on Wednesday I am going to clinic and having a cgm fitted for the week to see if there's one last hope of stopping the hypos on injections .
The advice I'm after is , once this has been done and they still think I'd benefit from a pump which dsn has said is pretty likely , because it's the unknown to me how does everyone feel being on the pump those who have been offered one do you feel it has been life changing and was beneficial to do so ? I've also been asked to look at two pumps too see what I feel would work best for me , one being the animas vibe and the second the Medtronic 640g has anyone got any information on either of these and why they chose the pump they did .
Sorry for the long post suppose I'm just a bit nervous .
Thank you cloe
