[QUOTE="daisynova, post: 135419, member: 13779"] Thank you everyone for your advice. I have been diabetic for 23 years and am pretty intelligent and clued up when itcomes to my diabetes so though I did tell a lie to my doc, turns out I made the better decision. I had to stay on my pump as my insulin supplies for MDI STILL haven't come through from my employer due a mess up by the Healthcare company. Luckily I had a year's supply for insulin and infusion sets. Since then my HbA1c has come down gradually and is now 6.9% and I am now almost 20 weeks pregnant. My doc in the Uk has not once contacted me since I came back to my posting and doesn't seem to give two hoots. My doc at the maternity hospital in the combined diabetes/OBGYN clinic hasn't been in touch either so my clinical team at post have been supporting me and checking my 1c levels regularly. I have now decided that even when my insulin supplies for MDI do turn up, I won't come off the pump. I will explain my decisions to my docs when I return to the UK to have my baby and will ensure that they are aware that it was my choice and in no way are they to be held responsible for anything that may go wrong. Medtronic have also agreed to continue to supply my employer with everything as they think my doc was wrong and they had a second opinion from my clinical team at post. I know some of you think I am being silly but this is definitely the right decision for me and my baby. Fab blood results only goes to prove that I was right all along! [/QUOTE]
