Hi, I'm glad to say that next week i get my accu check combo pump system, i live in uk so i am getting it funded by the nhs.
Ive had diabetes 25 years from an early age so i am so used to managing my diabetes a certain way now as you can imagine, I'm a little aprehensive about starting it, i'm sure i will adapt to it quickly enough, the insertion og the canula doesn't bother me and i have had the blood glucose remote monitor for 2 months already to get used to the way it works so i'm kinda ready.
You get so used to coping and dealing with diabetes a certain way for such a long time that its going to feel so strange not doing injections....i know this is a good thing of course!! No injections, great (my biggest wish as a child).
How did everyone else adapt to using a pump?
