[QUOTE="scoots, post: 174429, member: 26527"] Hi Anna Marie and Peter, Thank you so much for your responses, they are both very reassuring. Anna Marie - we'll start the journey more or less together, however I have already learned from you an have ordered the Pumping Insulin book. I hadn't really thought of it before, suppose I thought it would just happen! You will by now have started using the pump with Dylan - how's it going? Peter - this really is useful, thanks. I am due to have an op a month after starting the pump and will have to hit the ground running as it were - these are certainly helpful tips. Where do you purchase the CGM kit? Do you also have a 'remote control', and if so how did you get it? Also, I want to wear the pump in a soft bag around my waist, under my clothes (I've had a back injury, and know that anything that is hanging or not close to the body will set off my back pain) - I've not seen one that quite fits what I'm looking for so am planning on making one. Other than that I think it will just be tucked into the top of my trousers. How do you carry your pump? What was your HbA1C? Sounds like you've done pretty well so I'm sure it will be fine - you'll have to let us know. I am really looking forward to getting started on the journey, and it is great to know that there are such supportive people on the forum to travel with. Thanks again, Jen [/QUOTE]
