Message: <blockquote data-quote="magelizh" data-source="post: 331853" data-attributes="member: 52907"><p>Hi, I have been using the Accu Check Combo pump for just over 1 year now.  I like the idea of only having the equivalent of one injection every 2 - 3 days (depending on which cannula set is used) and it has reduced my HBA's to 7% but I can't honestly say that I don't have as many high or low blood sugars as I did previously on injection. However, my awareness has returned and I now know by how I feel if my blood sugars are high or low.  Being an older person 'over 50 - the age when new technology suddenly becomes a bit confusing' I have found it difficult to programme the pump to change the different basal and bolus rates for the different times of day - to be honest I have been a little lax with it, but I am persevering and I am sure that eventually I will come to terms with it all. A bit scared of messing it all up. I don't think that it is an easy option and I am still not sure whether I prefer the pump to injections.  I am going to Australia and NZ in Feb for a couple of weddings when it will be back to pens so this will be a better comparison test - I will see whether I decide to stay with the pens or go back to using the pump.</p></blockquote><p></p>
