Oh joy!

I just wanted to shout about my diabetes epiphany. After 20 yrs of T1 I started pump therapy a few weeks ago. Everyone here encouraged me and advised me of the hard work to come. Its been really hard work. I started by trying to nail my basal doses....that was such a hoo hah! But with time, solutions started to emerge. Now I'm on bolus doses and it's shocking to learn how off I was with my ratios, purely because my basal doses were wrong. I would never have had this insight whilst still taking injections. Feeling hopeful, thankful and for the first time, like life is going to be great!

Great post @Poosecat - yes it does take work but the effort is so worth it, happy pumping

@Poosecat I'm so delighted for you!

I've had my pump for just over 2 years and it has changed my life immeasurably.

Life's not perfect, don't get me wrong - but the difference pumping has made to me is staggering.

Enjoy the ride!

The difference between daily injections and pump therapy was like night and day for me. It's not perfect but it's as near as you can currently get without a functioning pancreas
