Hi Bebo321,
Last time I saw my DSN she raised the question of using a pump with me again, as she feels my control with exercise would be much better and asked me to research insulin pumps. We had talked about use of pumps a couple of years back, but I was very against the idea of being attached to something 24/7. However, after much research and hearing accounts of people on Team BG, Sporty T1D, pumpers and You Tube I have come to the conclusion that the pump is definitely the way forward. I'm still having very erratic BGs around exercise and have found that this is impacting my HBA1C - it is getting worse the more exercise I do, now it's up to 8.5 from 8.1 six months ago! (drastic action now needed ). I've got over the issues I had with wearing something all the time and now see that pumps are not nearly as big or difficult to conceal under clothing as I had imagined. I'm due to meet my DSN in a couple of weeks time - I'll let you know how I get on.
Thanks for your advice.
