Hi,
I'm thinking in advance here as I'm newly-diagnosed and my advisor said we could think about a pump in 1-5 years' time. But I have a big question around it.
I have a BRCA gene mutation which means I currently have MRI scans once a year as I'm high risk for breast cancer. Of course I realise that insulin pumps themselves can't go into the machine, but I don't know anything about how they're hooked up. Would it be a massive issue to have to disconnect/take out any metal once a year? Does anyone with a pump have experience of needing MRIs?
Thank you!
