Got my latest HbA1c result yesterday a stonking 39 which is 5.7 in old terms. Just so pleased with myself I must be doing something right although my potassium levels are still low. And on another positive note I've just got my second week all clear of MRSA so 1 more week of being clear and...

Just tested 10 mins ago and was 5.6 about normal for me on getting up :-)

Totally agree with donallydogs had injections, pens and now been pumping 14 yrs much better control, hba1c have been stable after initial balancing out. Just one canula change every 3 days for me whereas I was injecting up to six times a day trying to balance my levels, now I don't think...

Come on girls and boys I'm currently using the old d-tron plus pump, I've six months left till get another pump. At the moment it's a bit like Russian Roulette inserting the needle probably a mass of scar tissue build up.
