[QUOTE="Derek27db, post: 334726, member: 14072"] [b]Re: Would you prefer to be on insulin injections or on a pum[/b] My DSN and consultant have recently recommended a pump because we've tried all combination of basal & bolus insulins and concluded MDI doesn't work. Constant unpredictable dawn phenomenon each morning and the lowest Hba1c in the last 10yr is 8.8% so they are beginning my referral to see if I qualify although both are comfident I meet NICE criteria and the multidisciplinary team only need to gauge the priority before the the waiting begins. I was never keen on the idea of the pump though because being constantly attached gave me a bit of a mental block. After doing a lot of reading though the pro's changed my mind. The thought of only 1 needle every 3 days instead multiple each day, high level of flexability and no rigid format for meals swayed me. Hopefully I will see soon that I was right and it's suitable afterall. [/QUOTE]
