Hello folks,
Haven't posted for some time and really need some asssitance as I cannot get any support from my Hospital Clinic!!
I started pumpin early this year and have had a few ups n downs along the way. My last and very first pumpin Hba1c was 50mmol (by the new system) which I was pleased with. Hypos plagued my day and left me with a low Hba1c when on MDI. I have autonomic neuropathy/retinopathy/peripheral and used to have nephropathy. Pain and tiredness fill my days too much but you just have to get on with it! Been type 1 since 1 yr and now 40. I have so much trouble with infusion sites good enough to work well.
My help needed is with basal rate testing!! Because every infusion site varies absorption and with the added neuropathies I cannot get Basal rate testing done. Is their anyone that has or had the same problem?
I would be extremely grateful to hear your thoughts, opinions and any advice.
Thank you very much,
Tux
