[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 2084409, member: 53162"] Hello [USER=408077]@sjm1308[/USER] Great news on the pump :) It's a tough call as only you can make that decision, also they may want to start you on a trial with saline for a week first so it's best to speak to your nurse and discuss your situation with them. You will need back up insulin pens anyway regardless, so when you travel always take 3 times what you need and your back up pens too. I use pens when I have high glucose levels on the pump and inject with a pen to correct, it's rare but if there's an issue you need to ensure you have back up. If it was me then I would go for it, but only because I was eager to start on the pump and wild horses wouldn't of stopped me, is there ever a perfect time to start, as I said only you can make that call though :) [/QUOTE]
