[QUOTE="CarbsRok, post: 958814, member: 14029"] Thanks [USER=30007]@tim2000s[/USER] Hi Flossy, as Tim states I use a pump and cgm (animas vibe) As Tim states with a cgm you still have to finger poke for calibration and also before any decision is made regarding bolus or correction. Yes pumps and CGM are fantastic but there is a lot of work involved with a pump as it only does what you tell it, nothing is automatic. The pump and CGM together do give a fantastic quality of life though and so wish as a child they had been invented for my use then. Finger poking though I think is everyone's bugbear to make things easier make sure hands are warm dry and clean and poke at the side of the finger and not on the pad as this is the most sensitive part. There's loads of info about pumps and cgm's here [URL]http://www.inputdiabetes.org.uk/[/URL] hope it's of some help to you. [/QUOTE]
