I know ive had lots but i gave it back this time as i hated the new pump they put me on it was thr final straw!
Hey (joking of course candi girl!! I have 2 pumps upstairs try one of mine!!!
I don't know whether mine will be a holiday or permanent yet.
I know Accuchek say to try the tenderlink when they come out but there is something nice about not being attached to anything at all.
My levels today have been between 4.3 and 8.3 this morn (for a few hours) so my SD is going to be larger than it was... Which is the only thing that does concern me.. But heck you know what my levels weren't this good a week after going on to the pump!!!
I have already messed up once by giving a basal of 2 units instead of my bolus one morning- despite the pens being marked with black permanent ink.. Basal n bolus!!
Mornings are currently my worse time (this was when I did the wrong pen). Just thinking before I get out of bed to do my jabs...but I balance that against ending up having to do daily cannula changes and think whats the difference. Only thing is currently thinking before I go to bed and writing down how much basal or bolus to do when I wake up as this has changed dramatically. I have to write it in my book the night before because I couldn't remember it in the morning....
Apart from that during the day time I am absolutely loving the freedom off the pump. Never worrying to be honest now.
I'm testing quite alot during the night but this is just me being exact...
I will find out tomorrow if I can have degludec or not.
I would never have been so relaxed if it han't have been for the folk on here helping me so much.
Credit to
@Spiker initially for giving me the courage to go back to mdi.
To be honest I think it is a huge thing to do, it's honestly on a par with starting all over again after 5 years on pump.
I will even if I try pump again always take a pump holiday each year to give myself a rest in the future...
