[QUOTE="LooperCat, post: 1802381, member: 468055"] Thank you [USER=468714]@kitedoc[/USER] , I’m happy to take a compliment from someone who’s been dealing with it as long as you have :) You could be right re dropping a little lower and resistance, but with a sample size of one and the impossibility of two days being identical, I’ll probably never know for sure. The 4am-ish wake up isn’t really any worse than other folk who have to get up in the night for the toilet, I suppose - at least I can do my jab without getting out of bed! I’m usually asleep again in half an hour. And if I can’t, it’s a nice quiet time to read without anyone bothering me! I’m really reluctant to use a pump, if I’m being honest. I know there is a tubeless Omnipod, but the thought of having a machine attached to me and tubing 24/7, even if it’s doing an essential job, freaks me out rather. I can just about handle having a Libre, mostly because I can’t see or feel it. It’s totally irrational, I know. I suspect it’s partly due to my Asperger’s, I’m a bit weird when it comes to things being in contact with my body. I’ve just ordered a transmitter to go with my Libre, so I can set alarms to wake me if I’m going low - or beginning to rise quickly. So that’s another step towards going full cyborg, I suppose! However, I don’t think I’d qualify for a pump under our funding guidelines, as my diabetes is now regarded as being under excellent control, and they are prioritised for patients who aren’t managing. I don’t mind MDI, to be honest. [/QUOTE]
