I’ve researched pumps and they seem amazing. With pumps like the Medtronic Minimed 640g you can give a standard bolus, a square bolus which is bolus over time and a dual bolus where bolus dose is split into two. In addition to this you have greater flexibility as you can just dial in the carbs while if you are low you can suspend insulin delivery so your BG would naturally rise. The only negatives I see is the tubing and the potential complications such as kinked cannula, pulling tubing out or bleeding.
I’ve been diagnosed with T1D a little over 2 months ago. I really want the pump. Is the pump difficult to get? I know the CGMs are difficult to get and anyways I’ve tried the Freestyle Libre and they’re not for me as it’s rarely accurate.
I know there is two criteria:
- Disabling hypoglycaemia
- Cannot achieve HbA1c below 8.5%
I know someone with a young child with T1D and apparently the NHS literally begged her to take a pump but she didn’t. I feel like it’s going to be a different story for me. Anyone with a pump that can shed some light?
I’m going to start university in September so I want everything sorted out before I go
How long was the process? The coronavirus situation is also delaying everything
