Message: <blockquote data-quote="oldgreymare" data-source="post: 2669354" data-attributes="member: 20373">Hi [USER=532934]@sg004[/USER] Please don't give up on getting a pump. HbA1c levels are only one of the criteria. Hypo awareness, dawn phenomenon, demonstrated comfort using tech and your willingness to put significant effort in learning to manage a pump also count. Do you use a CGM? If not please ask for one (your GP can prescribe Libre 2 or Dexcom 1). These provide so much more insight into your diabetes control than fingerpricks. Also pragmatically, these help with just getting experience inserting and wearing devices on your body, identifying skin issues with adhesives,  how to monitor sensor outputs via phone or dedicated receivers and importantly ability to share the data with your diabetes clinic team.
