[QUOTE="Omnipod, post: 519908, member: 89494"] Firstly, never buy a pump 2nd hand esp if you never had any formal training so do ignore the post above. Secondly, you do need to prove you can control your diabetes on MDI before a pump. On a pump, its not easier as some may think. You constantly need to test and bolus for any food and drink. You constantly need to keep a diary too to adjust and fine tune. Its ongoing - pretty much like MDI. My advice is to keep a diary, keep trying on MDI and then also to make a case based on NICE guidelines. Unfortunately you do need to win your diabetes team over if you want a pump. I have no doudt that a pump will help you but you do need to demonstrate that you are trying your best to gain control. [USER=22662]@micheal[/USER] david...id like to hear more about the rye bread statement. Could you let me know? Im always trying to get my HBA1C lower. Thanks [/QUOTE]
