[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 518182, member: 17713"] Unless you can get your hba1c down I know that my hospital for example would not consider you suitable fir a pump. The reason being is two fold - you can go in to serious dka a lot quicker on a pump and you need to be showing to the medical people that you have done everything possible to get good control. On a pump you have to put in a lot of hard work and the HCP's will want to see that you are committed to use one. With an hba1c of 12-13... That is just an average of what your bloods have been in the past 90 days, so your bloods could be swinging much higher. Eating 1000 calories a day is not good. There is a difference between skinny and slim and healthy. It is not calories that a diabetic should be counting but carbs.. Do you do this? Most type 1's will have slack times in their control, that isnt too much to worry about at present, as you seem to recognise that you need to do something about it. With high hba1c's what help are your health care team giving you? Sent from the [url=http://www.diabetes.co.uk/app/?utm_source=sig&utm_medium=txt&utm_campaign=appsig]Diabetes Forum App[/url] [/QUOTE]
