[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 1755450, member: 17713"] You dont actually have to wait to take control-providing you have gained knowledge... A lady here helped me in my first weekwith adjusting and by the time I saw dsn and consultant that week later they were gobsmacked but happy that I had support from a fellow pump user...and was allowed to carry on pretty much providing I did basal tests that I was doing. I could prove my knowledge, had exact records to prove everything carb counted, exercise, sleep, waking and food. I hadnt even read any books such as pumping insulin etc. Just had incredible support from a person here phoning me. I also went on to do the same with another few people -one used to visit our home on a Sunday...and a couple by phone as well. I no longer use a oump due to my body blocking cannulas.. but I know that I gained enough confidence to adjust my own doses from phonecalls and could pass that knowledge on as well... if you make small adjustments and have the correct reasoning and action for making adjustments and results are improving then you are taking control... and thats what you need to do. My nurse and consultant were good and they knew from talking by myself at appointments that I had grasped the ins and outs and wasnt just doing what the lady had suggested to me... [/QUOTE]
