is it worth it

[ewan]

enquired about 'the pump' told i have to do a 4 day carb counting course, they've booked me on it! 4 days ? I don't know a great deal about counting the buggers, just use common sense, dont eat a lot of them! so is it really worth 4 days ?

cheers all

Apparently yes. I am booked for 5 days and can make better use of my time but I have only heard good things from those who have attended. Ultimately, it's your body. Do you want better control ?

Hi Ewan,
I read your post but i don't know about the pump.
But i have been diabetic 38yrs this tear and my diabetic nurse suggested buying the Carbs and Cals book to help me control my sugar levels and the a mount of insulin i took.
Whether this would help you before you try the pump I'm not sure.
What has made them talk about the pump.
I have 4 injections a day and 1000mg twice a day Metformin.
Hope all goes well with what ever you decide.
Take care
Tracey

Yeah it is mostly worth it. doesnt just cover carbs itll cover exercise and loads of other stuff.
