I'd love to go on a pump... but i dont think they would allow me to have one...
My lastest HbA1c was 6.8 (7th Aug 08), before that 6.5, before that 7.8 and 7.2 before that.
My A1c seems to be up and down, i seem to have mild depression too but i've yet to speak to the doctors about that, i have an appt on monday.
I love the idea of a pump, sounds like it makes life so much easier than MDI and brings so much more stability to levels.
I worry about even asking about a pump at my checkups because when i mentioned the pump when i first saw my D nurse she didn't sound like she really knew much about them, telling me that only 4 people in hampshire have one, but when i spoke to my educator she told me that was rubbish.
I'd be interested to know what situation you guys were in before the pump, in terms of BG levels and such.
Cheers
Stu
