[QUOTE="Ash2014, post: 742355, member: 138505"] Hi Claire, I started on the veo in October, I was straight onto insulin on my first day without a saline start. I think different hospitals have different processes depending on where you are? (I'm in Edinburgh) I'm not going to beat about the bush but the first 2 weeks for me were extremely hard work! Physically and mentally tiring with 2 hourly testing, up through the night, fasting or carb free meals to test you basal rates. And dealing with daily tasks like my toddler running wild around me lol But the hard works pays off! 3 months later and my hba1c is down 1.3% and I've still got to get the fine tuning perfect so cant wait to see the result in another 3 months time! It really is so flexible, I couldn't imagine my life without it now. As I'm a new pump user too, feel free to get in touch as the support can be welcoming at the time! Good luck! Ash [/QUOTE]
