Hi
Been type 1 since 1981, gone from glass syringes injecting once a day through to pen 4 times daily. I now want to go the next step to having a pump and my nurse referred me to the pump clinic which I'm going to a week on Monday.
My concern is that I won't meet criteria. My HbA1c is ok (7.4 last test). I still have hypo symptoms.
I do have a lot of hypos if I keep within my DAFNE targets around meals times and I do drive regularly for my job, these are things that may be helpful. We are also thinking about starting a family so that may help too.
I attend Guys hospital.
Any thoughts or advice on how it is best for me to play it?
Thanks in advance
Michelle
