[QUOTE="porl69, post: 2032019, member: 334119"] Thanks for the tag [USER=44643]@Robinredbreast[/USER] Hi [USER=503481]@MeiChanski[/USER] sorry to hear you are having problems with your diabetes management. You will hear this a lot, a pump does not stop hypos! Where you are going hypo during the night you would have the ability to change the basal settings many time in a 24 hour period...You will be attached to the pump 24/7 - less a few minutes for showers. that has never been a problem for me A pump takes a lot of work at the start to get your basal rates etc set up and take a bit of management to maintain the settings to keep your bloods as flat as possible. BUT they are so worth it. After 48 years of T1D I have my lowest A1C for 35 odd years a few weeks ago and that was after starting on the pump [USER=36344]@Chowie[/USER] I had an obnoxious cow when I was placing my 1st order with them. I asked to speak to a supervisor and reported her. Sorry BUT she should have been more helpful and less obnoxious. Always report them and any probs you have your pump mate. We deal with enough c**p every day, we certainly don't need it off customer support [/QUOTE]
