[QUOTE="BigRedSwitch, post: 771615, member: 86237"] Ha! Only [I]nearly...? [/I]:p I had some issues with hypos - I'd become aware of them too late - but with a pump, because you remove the need for the analogue insulin (your Lantus), you no longer 'lose control' when you have a hypo. I've been 1.8 and still able to function fully and hold a normal conversation... :) As for tubes - my cannula is around 15 cm long. Where I have the connection on my body (the side of my buttock/top of my leg) means I just pop it in my pocket, and it just looks like a pager... Honestly? After 38 years of being diabetic, this was like winning the lottery, and I'd sooner give up an eye than lose it... Very best of luck with everything to do with your cancer - you seem like a very strong and positive person - I'm sure everything is going to work out for you... :) [/QUOTE]
