Message: <blockquote data-quote="Snapsy" data-source="post: 1227573" data-attributes="member: 265172">Definitely worth an ask, [USER=247787]@TJR56[/USER] - I had excellent HbA1c levels on MDI but remember that it's not all about the numbers - I wrote to my DSN setting out in detail exactly what my life in micromanaged-diabetes-control-land actually looked like in order to actually ACHIEVE that HbA1c. It was consideration of my resulting quality of life issues that secured my pump for me.Before that though I did a great deal of reading - both on here and on the very helpful <a href="http://www.inputdiabetes.org.uk/" target="_blank">http://www.inputdiabetes.org.uk/</a>I knew that based purely on the numbers I wasn't ever going to be offered one. So I asked. And when it was then pointed out to me quite how difficult I was finding MDI, I realised I could have - and wished I had - asked a decade sooner than I did.<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
