Was your hba1c 73mmol/mol? The old school hba1c is expressed as a percentage, the new one isn't.How are you currently managing on MDI? Have you done all the basics to obtain control on injections? Have you basal tested? Have you been on a DAFNE course and do you carb count? How often through the day do you test? These are basic things that are required for good control whether you are on a pump or injections. Getting used to a pump is a lot of work and if you don't put the work in on MDI I don't see how a pump is going to magically achieve control.If you are doing all the basics and struggling with particular issues then it would be worth exploring whether a pump can assis with these issues.mthings like dawn phenomenon, extended boluses, temporary basal rates.</blockquote>
