[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 1879090, member: 365308"] All the advice is great. I was threatened with withdrawal of my pump when it came to replacing it because my scores weren't much improved although I found the pump a great tool for avoiding blood sugar rollercoasters. I simply found a sympathetic nurse and then made a concerted effort to get my numbers down because the bureaucrat at the CCG will only consider this and not your quality of life. Pumps on their own have not been shown to beat MDI as a method for improving HBA1c and are much pricier than the latter hence the rationing. Personally I have found going low carb and doing some fasting to be effective with all the caveats about managing your insulin doses accordingly! [/QUOTE]
