Hi my name is Jenny , i have been diaetic since i was 10 , 30 years ago :shock: My diabetes has always been discribed as brittle diabetes as very eratic and no matter if i eat exercise and take same amounts of insulin , things will never be the same . Since going on a DAFNE course in June2010 and then a pump in September 2010 my HBA1cs have improved greatly going from in the 9s to 6.9 more recently
I don't have brittle diabetes, but from what i've read and heard it sounds very tricky to get a hold of so well done on getting things so much better with a pump!!
The DAFNE course was a life changer for me, and getting an insulin pump was a life saver!
I too have gone from high hba1c's.. pre pump ranging from 8.4%-16.6% and my most recent hba1c is 6.6%
Hope you find the forum useful and i'm sure your experiences and having diabetes for 30+ years will benefit others too
