[QUOTE="Tim, post: 125921, member: 25682"] Hi All, I have been on my pump since August 2009 and all I can say is that I feel so much better. My HBA1c was around 10 and I will find out my new result on Friday as I have a pump workshop. I feel SO much better and find I am less worried about my diabetes on the whole. Hypos are much easier to control. I went skiing this last weekend (first time) and it was so great to be able to dial down my basal rate to like 50% while exercising to make sure I don’t go low. I also paraglide and the pump helps with this as well. I for one wouldn’t go back and all the supposed hassles (infusion sets / more stuff to travel with / having something attached all the time) don’t even come into consideration against how much better I feel. It does take some work though to get things settled. Anyhow, I posted some info on my pump on my blog: www.timpoulton.com Happy to answer any questions. Tim [/QUOTE]
