Hello All
I notice when looking at the posts in the pump forum well raised questions and answers arranged as a tangle of spaghetti, one subject next to different one.
I wonder if it'd be easier if there was a structure.
As a starter for 10, inputs welcome, it could be something like:
Key
+ and -s indicative advantages and disadvantages
Pumpers
New Users
+Potential NUs:
+ and -s of pumps alone over MDI
Managing sugars with a pump - similarities and differences from MDI
Pump Choices
Considerations in choosing a Pump** (see related **)
+ and -s of pumps with cgm over pumps alone
Cgm access rationing
A review of user's justifications in trying to gain a cgm, successful and unsuccessful
Open loop and closed
What does it mean
Open loop systems
Commercial
- system choices
+ and - s**
DiY
- system choices
+ and -s**
Closed loop systems
- commercial
- system choices
- + and -s for different systems**
-diy
- reason for diying
- diy system choices
- diy how to for each system
- users experience and rating out 10 for system
Accessing parts, setup costs, running costs, understanding use and optimal choice of different software and hardware options, readouts, alerts, durability, evolvability, rating overall
I might try and draw this into a diagram to help aid intuition. I like diagrams or maybe a yes/ no decision tree.
This area is really quite complex. I wonder if anyone with an interest in pumps would like to have a skype or whatsapp exchange of ideas if DIAB UK would implement the structure, otherwise we could set it up on face book or something. i have a feeling some of these things might be on FB already.
However if there a big pointer to it on diab uk or the forum, i missed it. Isnt that the point.
