[QUOTE="lilibet, post: 75022, member: 11459"] Rachel If I recall correctly, you are not long diagnosed, yes? If so, you might find the insulin wonky because you are in honeymoon period and your pancreas is erratic and it is frustrating as hell when you try your best and no two days are the same! If not then, it might just be a need to change the insulin? I had lots of funny sensations post dx and too was looking at whether insulin was to blame. My bg came under control quickly and my 2nd a1c was great but IMHO if its not 'text' book then they wont entertain your thoughts. I had pins and needles and toe pain (like shoes were too tight) and I still get this if bg goes up and down too quickly but they dispute neuropathic pain for someone not long dx. Hypos leave me feeling terrible and anywhere near double figures will have me wanting to lie down in the street and sleep. However, tell and Endo this and they will assume you are neurotic because only 'prolonged' hypers cause probs. Yeah, right! I still dont really feel normal at times but am just hoping to sit it out and fingers crossed that over time it all goes away. Its not good being so aware of your body all the time! Just another thought re the pump, I think to qualify you need to have difficulty controlling bg, exhaust other avenues and have a poor A1c though this may change from area to area. [/QUOTE]
