[QUOTE="sugarfreehannah, post: 379578, member: 69587"] I would really recommend doing the carbohydrates course first. I had no idea about the carb counting and thought it would be alot harder than it is. I found that I was taking less insulin than before carb counting which helps when you are trying to loose weight like I am at the moment (my last baby was 10.5lbs at 37 weeks good old diabetic baby haha). I cannot complain about the time it has taken for me to trail the pump and get mine ordered. I think I just fell lucky with timing. I would say it is definitely worth the wait, for me it was anyway. Straight away it made a difference to me and I stopped feeling so tired. My two year old daughter is even intrested in it she watchs me change the site every three days. Even my partner has noticed a difference in my mood no doubt its because my blood sugars have stopped swinging about. I walked in the livingroom the other day and my daughter was stood clipping hair clips to her top. I asked her what she was doing her reply was "oh just doing my insulin pump like mummy" haha so it has become part of the family already. If people are worried about the size I would not after a day I was totally unaware of it. I even went out saturday night for my friends birthday wearing a really fitted dress. I put my pump on my bra and you could not notice it at all. I am totally suprised by the difference it has made already. I am really looking forward to getting my HB1c done in a few months to see how much of a difference it has made :). I have even uploaded a photo of my new best friend haha :). Looking forward to reading other peoples experience of an insulin pump.
