[QUOTE="iHs, post: 445855, member: 8799"] Hi You can only but ask your consultant for it.....and explain why you want to have a rest from using a pump. DSN had no right really to put you on a guilt trip as she is not with you during the day or night to pick up on the worry that you get when the pump plays up.... I sometimes get very high bg levels myself and it does make you worry as to why they have happened especially when the cause could be down to many things. Its all very well appearing to shine like a star because of your a1c... but there's a lot more to using a pump besides the a1c being ok.... I think good a1c's make it look good for the hospital so that further ccg funding will carry on for others. If you decide to carry on with the pump which will please your dsn, then you could have a go at getting funding for the cgm that goes with the pump on the grounds of anxiety. Try and turn things around to your best advantage :idea: With the cgm, you'll be able to see in advance on the display window what is going right or wrong and take steps to prevent any looming disaster instead of doing what you are doing at the moment which is dealing with the crisis when it happens :wink: and at cost to your health and mental wellbeing. Have a bit of a think :) [/QUOTE]
