[QUOTE="ExtremelyW0rried, post: 1684382, member: 429908"] Yes it is worth looking at. It is maybe a bit overwhelming right now and it might seem an upheaval but longer term it might be a better solution. It is about the closest you can get to not being diabetic whilst still being diabetic in my opinion. It isn't a miracle and it takes work to sort out the background levels but it gives you a lot more flexibility and crucially you wouldn't have to physically inject every time you eat. I have a t1 friend who ignored it totally for about a decade. She is now on a pump and has much better control and a much better outlook but unfortunately she has been left with a lot of complications from when she just behaved as though she still had a functioning pancreas. Do you have a diabetes specialist nurse? I know it's tough when you don't feel like it probably, but give them a call if you have. The GP will probably have limited knowledge of insulin pumps but a DSN should know quite a lot and may be able to show and demonstrate various ones to you. [/QUOTE]
