Hi @blueeyed81, great news for you. Which pump are you getting (sorry if I missed earlier threads). I started a Medtronic 640G in December; had a bad month because I was ill most of December, but since then I have been so happy with my results. When on daily injections, I was all over the place with readings, spiking high after meals then dropping quickly. The pump though has been a massive change ; I honestly couldn't believe how different it could be. I'm very consistently within range now. The highs and lows I still have I can generally account for, as still trying to get used to pump. Being able to adjust the Basal whenever I need to has been very useful. I'm sure you won't be disappointed, once you get to understand how it works you will hopefully be getting great results. Best of luckOmg, omg, omg....
I get my pump tomorrow eeeeeeeek.
I know you guys will know how exciting this is
I can't wait...
Is there anything in particular I need to ask or will everything more or less be covered ??
