[QUOTE="Fairygodmother, post: 2082256, member: 68789"] It would be great if pumps were available for those who wanted one, libre too. I’m still on MDI and still frustrated by the need to give two Foot on the Floor boluses, one and a half hours apart (no, increased breakfast bolus beckons in a hypo). If the second FotF bolus is due when I’m driving then I need a correction dose later. It would be lovely too to be able to up the delivery towards the end of the afternoon. But, I can’t afford to self fund a pump. And each time I ask for one I’m told my results don’t warrant it. I ask every year. However, I remember one or two people on the Dafne course who had difficulty with the maths of carb counting and dosing, and who also found it took longer to apply variations to their use of bolus and basal. Despite the wish that we all have the potential to thrive some will possibly need long term support. [/QUOTE]
