[QUOTE="sleepster, post: 2331533, member: 482479"] I did have a cracked pump earlier this year, so had to get it replaced. Not too many other problems though. The reason I got the pump was I lost my hypo awareness, which was causing problems and the pump has helped with that, but my hba1cs were better pre-pump. I know most people had to do the DAFNE course before they were even considered for a pump but at my clinic that wasn't a requirement so I've never done it, I feel that if I had done one my control would be better. I moved hospitals since I got my pump as they were happy to give pumps out but aside from the pump training I had no other education and I never saw a dietitian, they generally were not very helpful. I moved hospitals earlier this year but covid has prevented me from being able to do DAFNE! I promise I'm not trying to put you off, pumps are amazing if you know what you're doing :D [/QUOTE]
