[QUOTE="Deleted member 527103, post: 2658578"] I am one of the very lucky and privileged ones who has a pump. However, I have zero expectations that I will get HCL any time. Like [USER=12306]@curly[/USER] and [USER=68789]@Fairygodmother[/USER] I am "persecuted" for putting in the effort to maintain good TIR and Hba1c. I do this by putting in lots of effort, constantly tweaking my doses, giving myself a top up bolus when stressed, educating myself about what I can do to improve with the technology I have available, funding additional tech myself, .. . It is frustrating to hear about those who put in less effort but get greater rewards. I am not suggesting those with HCL have not struggled. But I would like more recognition for the effort I put in and how much it affects my quality of life than a pat on the back. And I write this as someone [B]with [/B]a pump so could only imagine how much this feeling is greater for those without. [/QUOTE]
