[QUOTE="Richard F, post: 2264116, member: 157040"] Hi all My diabetes has always been self managed, monitored annually at the GP clinic. I requested a freestyle so was referred to the hospital clinic. What a revelation, switched on knowledgeable staff, things have certainly moved on in the last 20yrs! Anyhoo, I was approved for the libre cgm system, a couple of blips but confident with the system. Much better control tweaking and adjusting, now I understand how different things effect me. The doc suggested I try a pump, I didn't sign up straight away, preferring one change at a time, she seemed very enthusiastic. When I spoke to one of the nurses at the clinic (remote monitoring ) she didn't seem so convinced it was a good idea. And thought I was doing OK without. I'm reading sugars 25-30 times a day, and constantly adjusting, rather than my previous regime of just running a bit high. I live an active outdoorsy lifestyle so always concerned re hypos, and not particularly hypo aware. What are your thoughts to pump or not to pump? [/QUOTE]
