Hi All,
I have recently been given the opportunity to have a Medtronic 780g pump and been on it a couple of weeks but I’m not convinced pump therapy is for me!
My control is pretty fair and I had never been offered a pump before however as I am in the pre conception clinic I was offered it!
I really don’t like being attached to it 24/7 and being more afraid of DKA! I still have to carry my insulin pens/test kit with me and the faff of putting a guardian 4 sensor on doesn’t seem worth it! It seems to work well when sugars are in control but anything over 10.0 will stay high for 4 hours or until I have to put fake carbs in to bring it down!
Has anyone else experienced a similar view?
