[QUOTE="Fi2508, post: 404356, member: 77067"] I've been a pump user for 18 months now and think it has been the best thing I've ever done. My control used to be really bad. My Hba1c was rarely below 12 and I didn't bother. When my husband and I decided that we want to try for a baby it was suggested that I give the pump a try. I had to show I was committed so had 6 months prep of regular blood glucose testing and taking more care of my diabetes. It paid off and once on the pump things improved more. I now have an Hba1c of 6.8, daily bloods hardly ever above 8.0 and I feel better for it. Yes it was hard work to begin with but worth it. I've had my ups and downs along the way but these haven't put me off. I've even been to Australia for a month and it was no hassle with my pump. I worried that I'd be stopped at each airport and have to explain what it was but the only place I set the alarm off was at Heathrow on our return flight. The security lady was lovely and said I was her 3rd pumper that day and had seen lots of others. No fuss was made and I was on my way. Take this opportunity and I bet you won't want to go back to pens, I certainly don't. [/QUOTE]
