You may be exercising too often, "most nights at the gym". Most trainers advocate a day's break between sessions.
Definitely - check with your clinic, if you have any difficulties try the INPUT website as they're supposed to be very helpful.martinsoton said:Is it posible to get a pump in the Uk through the nhs?
Now that's the tricky bit, I have a genuine clinical need for CGM but still had to go via Exceptional Funding to get it full-time, and it took some persuasion but can be done.howie said:+ 1 with a continuos G-monitor?
kegstore said:Martin, some of those graphs make you a good candidate for pump therapy, this might be something worth thinking about? Although I know it doesn't suit everyone, I can't recommend it highly enough, it has allowed me to really take control of this pesky condition.
A useful target bg guideline I always use is a slight variation on the often-quoted range: whatever your pre-meal reading is, your 2 hour post-meal should be no more than 2 mmol/l higher. With pump therapy this is very easy to manage once you have mastered the theory. Now, even with a whole variety of food types, I can normally maintain a flat bg of around 6.5 all the way from pre-meal through post-meal and beyond.
No problem at all, I took to it like the proverbial duck to water and just wish I'd had one years ago. It does require commitment and effort to master, but is well worth doing. I think it's ideal for any situation where things aren't simple and predictable! Roll on closed loop devices...lionrampant said:Question for you good sir: How easy do you find it to live with the pump? I mean how much of an annoyance is it when you're at the gym, or on a night out? Or in any other situation where things aren't simple and predictable?
