[QUOTE="Mrsass, post: 1022825, member: 86119"] [USER=190075]@Cumberland[/USER] I really feel for you it must be exhausting to constantly have bg readings that high, I know how awful I feel with the very occasional reading of around 12 so to be in the 20's so often you have my sympathy! I noticed in post 10 you mentioned about sometimes you can experience a hypo due to missing lunch, which says to me if you maybe had lunch but without the carbs (as many others have suggested) you will get much better readings. Instead of the bananas on a morning raspberries or strawberries are a lovely replacement and very low carb, also the lidl protein rolls that have been mentioned are great, very low carb and very filling, I do think if you gave it a go of low carbing for a few days (will need to see patterns develop) you may see an improvement. I have a pump (I'm type 1) and I love it, never had such great readings, but it takes work it isn't magic, for your team to say the are expensive sounds like they are fobbing you off, maybe it's a case of they don't think it would be suitable for you because of the amount of insulin you are on but they should be honest so I would question them again about that. I wish you luck as I said at the beginning of my post it must be awful to have such high readings and go about your day to day life feeling so rubbish, but think how great you will feel when this begins to get sorted and you have lower readings [emoji4] [/QUOTE]
