Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deleted member 527103" data-source="post: 2609365">For me, getting used to the pump was way more than sorting out my settings. That was the easy bit Much harder was having something attached to me all the time, having to carry much more paraphernalia every time I went away, not being able to hide the lump that was my pump so my diabetes felt as if it was in display all the time, having to chose my clothes based on how I could manage my pump (dresses were a nightmare), not being able to read the pump screen to give myself a bolus in direct sunlight, ...I never got used to all of that until I got a patch pump. The patch pump helped with some things but I am still way way more self conscious of my diabetes than I was when injecting My diabetes management is much better so I accept the rest. But "being used to it"? My first pump was 7years ago. Maybe it's just another step along the way of being used to diabetes.</blockquote>
