[QUOTE="Snapsy, post: 1393728, member: 265172"] Hi Charlotte, fear of hypos is a valid reason for being considered for pump therapy - might be worth a push? I didn't fit the NICE criteria for a pump, or so I thought. But it's not just the NICE criteria which can be taken into account - sorry to be a pest [USER=11028]@noblehead[/USER] but could you post that fab link to the ABCD criteria? Thanks! I'm sure running training is all very very achievable on MDI, but I didn't start to run until I had my pump. In fact, it was having the pump that actually gave me the confidence. I think that testing and jelly babies would be the two key factors required for any runner with type 1 diabetes, pump or no pump! The legs not working when high thing - I view this as the 'syrup effect'. If my blood's too sticky, it ain't going to flow - and that's EXACTLY what it feels like. Plus being high gives me cramp - not conducive to a comfortable run! :) PS Halfway down page 3 of the thread below is an essay I wrote to myself, really, to clarify my thoughts about pumping, which I showed to my DSN. For the record my HbA1c was 42, but even though this was in the desired ('no pump') range I qualified for the pump because of quality of life issues. Sorry if I'm derailing the running-related thread, but it sounded from your post that you feel you would benefit from a pump!
