[QUOTE="Pneu, post: 280126, member: 28827"] Morning Rich... Firstly I can't tell you what life is like because I don't yet have my pump... but I can tell you that getting the pump can be very difficult if your not an 'obvious' case. Rather ironically to be good at a pump you will need to have a good understanding of insulin / carb counting and how generally life effects your blood glucose... typically if you have that understanding then you do well on MDI and therefore immediately miss their main criteria which is a HbA1c of over 8.5%. You can argue on other grounds as I have.. I shan't bore you with the details but drop me a PM if your interested... it took me nearly 2 years of pestering to get to where I am today (should touch wood get the good news on the funding decision today).
