[QUOTE="scoots, post: 174433, member: 26527"] I have spoken with both my GP and my DSN today, and the advice given was exactly that given above - how good is that?! So, I'm getting an MOT blood-wise to address any anaemia etc., going ahead with the pump fitting in Feb leaving enough time to get some better control for the op in March. My DSN did say that they would be looking at the blood glucose levels on the day rather than HbA1C, which makes much more sense. As you say, it would seem ludicrous to postpone the op due to a symptom which is as a result of the underlying condition, and which hopefully should be resolved with the op. She also advised to aim for a slightly higher level of 8-11, as I would be more likely to achieve this without lurching from hypo to hyper (which has been happening recently, nightmare). She also said that as soon as I am eating and able to do things for myself I should be able to resume the pump even in hospital, which is great news as I want to avoid the dreaded sliding scale insulin as much as possible! I don't know about being a testing expert, I do my best but am far from perfect! :wink: Thanks again, Jen [/QUOTE]
