Hi there - I am new to this forum and only started posting recently. I am 37 years old and have been type 1 since November 1977 (35 years!!)
I attended a DAFNE course in February 2011 and found this very useful but recently my blood sugars can just randomly for 2 or 3 days go off the chart so I mentioned this to my consultant who recommended an insulin pump. I have a couple of friends who use them and have highly recommended them so was wondering what peoples' experiences of them are on here?
I have been referred pretty quickly all in all and will be getting the pump on the 1st October (I am getting the meditech paradigm veo pump - mainly made the decision as I have 5 friends on pump therapy - 3 use the Veo and love it and 2 use the roche and would prefer the veo!! - Also read all the pamphlets etc. and the Veo was the one that sold itself best to me)
All advice is gratefully received
