[QUOTE="ce81ar, post: 1504735, member: 85835"] I would echo Snapsy totally. A pump is not easy, but progress is motivation in itself to keep going. On MDI I would have some months where I focussed on my diabetes and then get to clinic and my HBA1C was 7.9 (sorry it was old units at the time). Then life would get busy and it would be back to 8.2, 8.3 again. The effort made a difference, but I was never going to get anywhere close to the target range. The biggest difference by far though was how I felt in myself, until I went on the pump I hadn't realised how tired I was all the time. It was another barrier to exercise and weight loss that I didn't recognise at the time. If I had my time again I would have been hammering on my consultants door for a pump 10 years earlier! [/QUOTE]
