Hi,
So I asked for some fiasp and GP was happy to prescribe, unfortunately my hba1c has been pretty **** for the last few years...
My gp looked at my charts on my Libre, and my average hba1c and said he can recommend me for a pump...at first I thought oh wow, a CGM system is sweet...
But then realised it's just a pump that pumps insulin...*** I can just inject?
Also I don't want to wear some pump unit and wire, it doesn't look cool and I don't want more tech to carry around and another device to worry about and sleep with?
So I'm just going to say thanks but no thanks when the appt comes and stick to the traditional route.
Thoughts/views/opinions?
As someone who is in a line of work that's fairly "dog eat dog", I can certainly comment on this - it's your delivery that makes a difference*. People don't give a stuff about your medical status, unless it affects your ability to do your job. The majority just think you are wearing an 80s pager! Believe me, in my industry, if it was an issue, I'd know about it.I just don't want to be *that* diabetic guy with the weird gizmos. I'm pretty serious about my career these days, and prefer not to have obvious signs of some sort of medical condition.
