Hi all, I have been on here for quite some time but haven't posted in bout 2.5/3 years. Life got in the way. In the last few years I have had my son who is now 2, been diagnosed with hypothyroidism, depression, suffer with chronic fatigue, have osteoarthritis in my hips. My son was born at 28+3 weeks, not diabetes related. Was one of those things, he is doing amazing. Recently started nursery for 3 hours on a Wednesday afternoon.

I recently asked my new diabetes nurse about a pump and I am getting one :), happy me. I am getting the minimed 640g and I get it on the 23rd of January with saline in and go live with insulin on the 30th January.

Thanks all, it's great to be back lol :).

I'm used to the chronic fatigue now it's been that long.

Can't wait to get my pump, I really can't believe how fast it's happened either.
 
Welcome back @blueeyed81 :)

Great news about your son, here's hoping all goes well with your transition to a pump. Best wishes.
