[QUOTE="laura220579, post: 422432, member: 59397"] Just because u have a good hba1c, doesn't mean u wont be considered for a pump. There are plenty of other parts to the criteria than just hba1c. Check out the DAFNE website and see if that helps clear things up for you. I moved from mdi to insulin pump 3 months ago after being on mdi for 30 years and have never looked back. I'd claw anyone's eyes out if they ever tried taking it away from me :) Don't get me wrong, soooo much more work at the beginning until u get ur basal rates and carb ratios sorted out. More testing bgs as well. I wouldn't advise anyone to get the pump unless u r willing to put the time and effort in because it would just be pointless as u have no long acting insulin running in the background as a safety net. Basically u can be in DKA within 4 hrs if u are what I call "a lazy diabetic" meaning u don't take it seriously or take care of yourself properly. Good luck with whatever u choose. For me? The pump is def the way forward :) Laura x Sent from the [url=http://www.diabetes.co.uk/app/?utm_source=sig&utm_medium=txt&utm_campaign=appsig]Diabetes Forum App[/url] [/QUOTE]
