[QUOTE="Jack2311, post: 2206482, member: 519185"] Hi, this is my first post here although I have been diagnosed with T1 diabetes for quite a few years now. I am currently on multiple injections but my HbA1C has gradually increased ( mainly due to DP and insulin resistance ) to 70. My nurse suggested a pump which has been approved. I should be getting one ( not sure what one ) in a few months time. My concern is that I am a whole time firefighter and wondered if there are any fire service personnel here who use a pump ? If so, is there a certain make that is ok in a fire situation ? What are the negatives ? What should I do ? Lastly, what pump would you recommend ( I need one that can cope with fairly high doses due to insulin resistance ). Many thanks in advance. Jack :-) [/QUOTE]
