    First HbA1c since starting on a pump.

    Hi novorapidboi 26 I've tried many ways to get it back including running my b/s at 10 for 4 months,which made me quite ill as I don't tolerate high b/s very well.My Endo said it's because I have been on insulin for so long,I've been type 1 for nearly 54 years.
