Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deleted Account" data-source="post: 1480813">Have you thought of getting a CGM?It does not completely replace your fingerpricks but you will have a some numbers regardless of whether you test or not. I understand this will be scary. At least your pump will be able to help you correct if the numbers are not as good as you like. Also, a new piece of kit may help you refocus again .... like you did when you first had the pump.The downside of a CGM is the cost. There are a few options such as asking your healthcare team if they could help or trialling a Libre (they were offering free trials last year which is worthwhile checking out) to see if it helps. Diabetes is a pain. I think of it like a sneaky young child who, when all is quiet, you wonder what they mischief they are planning next. But, just like an annoying child, you can train it. And just like a child, even when they are well behaved most of the time, they will mess up just to test you sometimes. It doesn't mean you are a failure: just that life is not easy and fun all the time.</blockquote>
