[QUOTE="emmacheasty, post: 1619119, member: 452375"] Life events that cause emotional upheaval and stress which affects our blood sugars whether or not you are on a pump. The greiving process is a prime example of the most stressful life event. Your mum has been on injections for years and during this stressful sad time she needs more input from her specialists, picking up any trends when she is getting her hypos and then can adjust her insulin doses accordingly. Even if she had a pump it requires a team that understands how to manage people on a pump....an insulin pump in uneducated hands is very dangerous piece of kit and will almost guarantee a hospital admission. Does she even attend a diabetes clinic where they have patients with pumps? There is also the cost of the consumables for the pump....these are not cheap either. Please do not listen to the pump reps who's job it is to sell you a product....it is not a one stop fix it shop.... pumps are amazing bits of kit if you have the correct education prior to starting and support whilst using. Kindest Regards [/QUOTE]
