Hi Karen, pump working well for me 95% in target range, ypsopump steel cannulas work great for me, if you're happy with pens and you have no issue's I would stick to pens, did have a pump holiday for a few days but results were not so good. X

6.8 today, which is actually the lowest figure I've had so far. Not quite ready to put the flags out yet, not that I've got any flags upon my person anyway, but it's a start.

Thanks for the encouragement, @Mike D . It helps.
Though there seems to be no rhyme or reason to it all. I have had a low carb breakfast, and a brisk walk, but it is currently 8.5. This has been going on for ages. If I catch early BG level it can be low 6, then rises to 7s before I eat, another increase following exercise, then falls after lunch to low 5s.
A steroid injection a few weeks ago sent numbers soaring into double figures for a while, and I am hoping that is the reason for HbA1c of 51, which I am not happy about, but plodding on, and avoiding steroids if possible.
