Getting my pump Tomorrow!!!

[silvarbullet1]

Wow, time flies. I can't believe how fast and helpful the team at Ashford & St Peters have been too.
The PCT took less than 5 days to confirm they were giving me the OK for funding, then the amazing nurse ordered the pump, I collected some insulin vials and new test strips for the meter (getting the Spirit Combo) this week and tomorrow I go to get 'inducted'!

So excited! The nurse has been really helpful, very down to earth and friendly. Tomorrow I get to go to the hospital, given my pump, talked through all the basics, see the dietician if I want, then I can take it and go home! She said they don't make anyone stay in hospital and I can email her with any questions, they think the best way to learn is just to get on with life and use the pump as you go...

Whilst I'm here, I'm gonna post some other questions on exercise, but I think I'll start a new topic for that.

I hope it all went well and that your early experience of pumping is good.

Hi! I really hope things are going well with your pump so far? I'm getting mine fitted on Monday,so I am feeling pretty nervous! I think often starting new things can be a bit daunting,so I just have to go for it! Wishing you all the best.
