[QUOTE="Tiia, post: 2083964, member: 504428"] So I have been to my diabetes check today and I got great news, I have managed to lower my Hba1c to 6.8 ! I'm thrilled about the level, even if I know there's still a lot to improve within my care due to hypos I get too often, but hoping to maintain the level with less hypos and the hypers that most likely are cause by the lows. And for the reason that I am extremely insulin sensitive, Dafne suggested me to request a pump, so I spoke to the nurse today, and basically he told me to start doing a research for the pumps and try to decide what would be the best choice for me. Does that mean that it's quite sure I am getting a pump ? Or should I prepare myself to fight for the pump later? I got an appointment for a clinic to higher my hypo awareness and he said that there they will do at the same time pre assessment. I was kind of in state of shock for my hba1c level and other things that I talked and didn't realise to ask if that's kind of approval or do I still need to wait further. I am in a very desperate situation and really hoping to get the pump to be able to give correct amount of insulin for my carbs. and also I have seen some people to get Tandem t:slim x2 pump, but not sure in which are or where in the UK they are living. So just wondering if anyone has managed to get that pump in are of central London? The diabetic nurse kind of mentioned about a new insulin pump, but then said we can discuss it later in the clinic, so I am hoping it to be this pump, but not sure about it. [/QUOTE]
