[QUOTE="Chas C, post: 2257280, member: 49223"] [USER=499876]@Jason 73[/USER] I was very similar to you before I moved to pumping, testing around 10 times each day although I was also struggling with dawn highs and night time lows in trying to fix overnight issues. Life experience is a considered factor. Pumping does not reduce the amount of work you need to undertake, if you do not have a GCM then you will need the same amount of finger tests (or more for first 3 months or so). What it will eliminate is the need for seperate injections. The first three months need a lot of work to work out your basal dosage over 24 hrs, then you may need to repeat this a few times a year (for week or so). I would suggest you speak to your consultant about moving, best wishes. [/QUOTE]
