I have been speaking to my diabetes care team and have been enquiring about the possibility of going on a pump - currently on MDI's using Lantus and NovoRapid. My last Hba1c was 8.4% so am open to all options in the hope of improving my BS control.
The nurse I spoke to mentioned that there were pumps available that also measured your BS which is something that would really interest me - the thought of being able to look at the pump and know at a glance where you were in terms of BS has to be a big plus - however she mentioned that these pumps were not availiable on the NHS in the UK and were being used mainly in America.
Can anyone offer any advice on this and is anyone using this type of pump/equipment?
Thanks.
Fletch.
