I'm a type 1 diabetic and 45 years old after having type 1 diabetes since I was 4.
I saw my hospital practitioner a couple of weeks ago and thankfully due to my be Agamatrix Wavesense Wireless blood glucose meter and the iPhone app, it has given me the data I've always needed to show the need for s pump.
I commute to work on my bike 3-4 times per week (30.3km hilly terrain each way) this causes me to have BG spikes which with Novorapid insulin I can by taking regular jabs to keep on track.
My Hb1A readings are always in the target range so I always feel nobody listens, but at last with the iPhone App the spikes were apparent and it was clear that during my none cycling days my control was spot on and flat lined between 4-6.
After trawling the Internet I'm a little curious if I get a pump can I choose which model I would like, I.e. An Animas Vibe or Accu-check combo, or am I governed by whatever the hospital provide?
