[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 2092203, member: 468714"] Hi [USER=408077]@sjm1308[/USER], I recall some years back when i had a lot of things on my plate , events, decisions and what not. The best advice i received about this situation was: what will matter in 20 years time? Most things do not matter when looked from that perspective, or if they were deferred, changed, but moving to an insulin pump is the one thing that does and did matter for me. Nothing compares or comes even close to that in technical terms. So please grasp this opportunity. Yes, it is like you have been piloting your diabetes and now are moving to an upgraded pilot system. but one which will give you the best chance of continuing to fly without crashing ! The posts above show you that the new system is a game changer. Weddings, house moves etc will come and go but your diabetes, my diabetes, all of us with TID essentially have it for life. What could be more important.? Sometimes we also take on so much and find that we are often failing to keep up and this is a form of stress that in hindsight we coukd have avoided or at least minimised. No, an insulin pump is not a 'set and forget' item. It still takes work and concentration but it can make overall control a lot easier. Your health team woukd nit have recommended it fir you if they did not believe you woukd benefit from it. Best Wishes and please let some of your overfull coffee cup overflow whilst retaining the best and most important and best tasting portion remain !!!:):):) [/QUOTE]
