Re: Would you prefer to be on insulin injections or on a pum I'd love to go on a pump - really struggling with injections at the moment. I graze constantly food wise throughout the day so injecting the right amount is proving near impossible for me. My Hba1C was 78 at the start of May so...

Thanks for the reply :D I've got an appointment with a diabetic consultant and a diabetic nurse in a couple of weeks so I'll have a chat and see what they suggest (I usually just see one of the nurses at my GP surgery) What sort of low/no carbs snacks are there? Is it things like meat and...

Hi I suffer from anxiety and possible depression so that may play a factor. I definately eat more when I'm at work as well But I do enjoy my food! :D (Luckily, I've never had a problem with my weight though!)

I've already done the DAFNE course and it works for me, but only if I cut right down on the frequency that I eat :(

Hi All Does anyone know the criteria for being approved to have a pump please? I'm a type 1 and my HbA1C has been hovering at around 9.5 for the last year or so. My problem is that I eat constantly, like every hour! :shock: and so that's a lot of injections that I have to do (which causes...
