[QUOTE="Patch13, post: 416439, member: 58178"] Hi Chris! I swapped to a pump about 1.5 years ago after having injections for about13 years. I got a pump after going on a DAFNE course where I was shown them (i had requested to go on the course due to having lots of hypos and highs and then after a lot of consideration thought that I would really like to see if a pump could improve my control / health). I qualified for the criteria as I had a huge amount of hypos even though my HBa1c was pretty good. It sounds like I was very lucky as I received a pump quickly after I requested one. However I am aware that some people really have to fight to get one. After having my pump I don't see myself ever going back to MDI. I like that I can bolus very small amounts of insulin and that I have been able to adjust my basal hour by hour. I also like the less injections. Sorry I can't be more helpful. I hope you manage to get a pump. Patch13 Sent from the [url=http://www.diabetes.co.uk/app/?utm_source=sig&utm_medium=txt&utm_campaign=appsig]Diabetes Forum App[/url] [/QUOTE]
