Hi,
Totally get one!! They are fab! I've been on one for 2 months now and love it. I had problems like you with Lantus as well, it just didn't work for me. When I got asked to go on one by my diabetes team, I crapped myself
such a big change, with a lot of hard work! I had so many questions: how do I wear it? What about showers/bathing? How do I sleep with it in? What about sex?
etc... Etc... The list was endless.
But it was the best decision I made. Don't get me wrong it was hard work and still is at times, the first few weeks I felt like giving it up I was so confused and frustrated! Its pretty mentally and physically draining as well (hmmm I'm not doing it any favours here
) but don't give up, it gets easier! Remember you will have to start on basic amounts of insulin and general rates, so bloods will be all over the place! I'm still working out some stuff, but I'm getting there.
As for all my initial questions - no worries! I've yanked the tubing,its weird, but not sore! The sticky tabs are brilliant
sleeping is a piece of cake, you can lie on it easy! I attach it to my bra or trousers, no probs.
The best thing is, when you have made something to eat and you get comfy on the sofa and start stuffing your face, I just press a couple of buttons and my insulin is done! No more getting up and getting my pen, needles, priming the pen, injecting! Sweet
Good luck and don't worry.
Xx
