Hi Karen, pump working well for me 95% in target range, ypsopump steel cannulas work great for me, if you're happy with pens and you have no issue's I would stick to pens, did have a pump holiday for a few days but results were not so good. X

ive got much better control on the pens phil just a bit of dp of a morning but comes down quick enough once i do a correction glad your happy with your pump ,my consultant said the pump was not for everyone and it seems im 1 of them (typical me);)but has given me the option to try a tubed pump if i want to but for now i dont think i will xx

Thanks for the encouragement, @Mike D . It helps.
Though there seems to be no rhyme or reason to it all. I have had a low carb breakfast, and a brisk walk, but it is currently 8.5. This has been going on for ages. If I catch early BG level it can be low 6, then rises to 7s before I eat, another increase following exercise, then falls after lunch to low 5s.
A steroid injection a few weeks ago sent numbers soaring into double figures for a while, and I am hoping that is the reason for HbA1c of 51, which I am not happy about, but plodding on, and avoiding steroids if possible.
