[QUOTE="Platinum, post: 469306, member: 91091"] Hi Pumppimp Thanks for the sensor info – I have just emailed Animas & asked if they can supply me. When I was first offered a pump, I was given a choice between the Animas and the Accu-Chek. I chose the Accu-Chek as it has a remote control. My DSN is also really helpful and amazingly knowledgeable, but I run into a brick wall when I try and discuss my erratic insulin absorption. My Hb1AC has always been fairly good, my most recent was 6.4 and my DSN and consultant don’t seem to be able to see beyond it. When I was on MDI, my BM would fluctuate between hypos and high twenties just about daily, but my Hb1AC never went above 7.6, so I was told ‘I wish all the diabetics I looked after were as well controlled as you’. I am due my fourth laser eye zapping in the next few weeks and have been told I will probably loose my driving licence this time – I blame a lot of this on the ‘specialists’ that could not see past the good Hb1AC. Last time the eye specialist told me the worst thing for your eyes is a rapidly fluctuating BM! [/QUOTE]
