Hi
Just want to ask out of curiousity
I still await results of what kind of diabetes I have, gp suspect some kind of mody. But still have to wait for results and see.
But I wanted to make a post here, bacause I know many type 1s use an insulin pump. I’ve suggested for my gp that I want a pump, because it would make my workday much easier.
I’ve got an appointement with a diabetes nurse, but she meant that pumps were more suited for people who used larger doses of insulin, and not for people like me who barely used any insulin at all.
So wanted to ask everyone out here, who use an insulin pump, how many units do you use a day?
I use around 30 units each day, and have to inject myself to every single meal (novorapid). Thought that was a fair amount of insulin, so would be great to get an idea of how dependent/not dependent I am of insulin Thanks
