Hello.
I am new to the whole pump side of diabetes and was just wondering if anyone who has used them if they are more useful/stressful than manually injecting insulin.
I have been recommended to have the omni pump as my blood sugars when I wake up every morning range from 15-20mmol which has caused pins and needles and numbness in my foot (more explained here: http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/pins-and-needles-and-high-blood-sugars.124543/)
Anyhow the questions I have is.
Do you get used to feeling comfortable wearing one? -as i work in retail and I fear people asking me the question of what it is a million times a day and it getting me down.
Is it easy to use or is it stressful?
Does it help with hbac1?
Does it improve morning sugars from being high?
Most importantly does it hurt?
is it worth it?
If i have any more questions I will post them below.
Appreciate any answers.
Thankyou
