Been Lurking for a bit... :D
Thought it best to join in, I have been type 1 for 13 years and am going onto a pump on Monday.
I will probably have a few questions for you all so Thanks in advance

Lack of choice of insulin for newly diagnosed patients.
Dog owners who let their dogs poop in the street-a hazard for most, but worse if you're visually impaired!

Hi

Good luck with pumping, would be great to hear about your transition. My son Zac is awaiting funding for his pump. It should go without a hitch, in witch case he will be pumping by summer.

Good luck to you.

Well I am now all connected, Saline for this week..
It is a lot to take in but I am impressed with my Diabetes team and Animas Rep :D
I only started the whole pump thing rolling in January so they have been very efficient.
I hope it doesn't get in the way at work as I am a Mechanical Engineer.
I am not complaining as the pump is my last resort as I have early Retinopathy as well now
See how it goes during the night. :roll:

Emma how old is your son :?: Why is funding a problem

Bravo210,

I think we all lurk before joining, I am sure you will find that we are a friendly bunch overall.

Zac is 14-hopefully funding won't be a problem, however the consultant has mentioned that it could be so just saying it is a possibility.
