[QUOTE="SJT1D, post: 2392316, member: 542058"] Hi all, I am type 1 diabetic of just over 25 years. Currently taking MDI, but due to some recent issues, and the fact that I am trying to conceive, my hospital team have agreed to support me with insulin pump therapy (yay!).. we have agreed on a closed loop system, and CGM funding will be applied for at the same time. I have a hospital appointment in 3 weeks time, and when I spoke to my DSN a few days ago, she said we would have a further discussion about it, and start the paperwork then. I know that situations may differ, depending on areas etc, but I wondering what I am looking at regarding process and paperwork? I understand that the funding needs to be applied for for both pump and CGM, as well as training needs to be given on using the pump - what is the actual process? How have people also found the transition to pump? If it takes months and I fall pregnant in the meantime, will I completely mess up my bloods during the transition period? Obviously, I don't want this to harm the baby (my most recent Hb1Ac was 5.4%), but I don't want to put off trying trying to conceive for a few months, as I am approaching late 30s already. Thank you!
