I am getting a pump!!

Saw my specialist today and he has said I should be on a pump to help with my morning highs!

Overall he said my control was excellent, I have been doing a very comprehensive diary for the last few weeks. For some reason on a Saturday my levels rise. I could understand this if I did a very active job through the week but I don't, I am an office manager, my doctor was unable to explain why this is happening.

Just waiting nor for my appointment with the head nurse to get my pump fitted. I am hoping it will help with my weight loss too

I have matched my insulin to carbs for a long time now, self taught no DAFNE course for me!!

I use the old fashioned portion system, this is what I was given when I was diagnosed in 1975, and Ihave worked out that I need 2 units of bolus for every portion (10g) of carbs except when I first wake up at 6am when I have to take 20 units of bolus to stop me going sky high I then take 8 units at 8am to cove my breakfast of 4 portions. It is this extra 20 units that I am hoping the pump will do away with. I will let you know how I get on
