[QUOTE="eabhamurphy, post: 1492327, member: 21358"] Yeah it does make me a little nervous. Have to say that yesterday was the first day in maybe four years that I haven't had a mild hypo or massive hyper between 15:00-19:00 so that was a new experience. I didn't realise how tired it made me as I had so much more energy yesterday evening, I believe as a result but too soon to really tell! I like the libre, it's made a huge difference. With the pump training currently I'm testing all the time so not really getting big surprises. Considering self funding the mini med CGM that links directly into the pump and can automatically cut it out or increase basal etc. I have been told I will quality for funding for this CGM when and if I'm pregnant again. It would cost me about £3.5k/year to self fund before that versus the libre which is £1.3k/year. I would rather wait until after my next maternity leave, when NHS funding ends then ill be in a better position financially with no more maternity leaves to finance. Lot of money but possibly worth it depending on how much it helps me. Im reading the book that others have recommended to you 'pumping insulin' and it is very good. Some parts on DIA (duration of insulin action) which hugely confuse me as mine has been set to 3hr15min and the book basically says it should be 4 hours plus but I will revisit this chapter after my next appointment once my questions have been answered by my specialist nurse.
