Hi all,
I have my review with my consultant tomorrow and I'm thinking about bring up the subject of pumps, Guess I'm not sure quite where to begin.
Stuboy, I have been very interested in your unfolding story re- obtaining a pump as you're in my neck of the woods, ( I live in petersfield and we have the same pct).
I have been very succesful in getting pretty good bg numbers using a low carb diet, but have always needed very small units of insulin, 1.5 units for breakfast, same for lunch and 2.5 for evening meal, with a split dose of levimir -5 units am - then 6 units before bed.
I already use a half unit dose pen but when trying to fine tune its impossible, feel the need for a 1/4 unit or less adjusment.
So..... do you think the fact that I have fairly good control with mdi is gonna go against me, or is the need for smaller unit adjustments a valid point.
Sorry if all that was a bit long winded, not sure what to say or ask and just trying to weigh everything up.
Cheers
