I did notice you had one (signature) and I was going to ask but didn't want to appear rude and ask out right. Can I ask how your getting on with yours?

I have funding for an insulin pump (am getting an Accu Chek one which has the expert meter) but don't get it til 3 September which is slowly speeding by. The reason I'm having to wait is I've not been on dafne or a proper carb counting course (I'm self taught as they thought I was T2) but I honestly can't wait even tho I have some doubts about the pump being attached 23 hours of the day to me. The main reason I'm having 1 is the amount of night time hypos I get & the fact I live alone which scares me. My hba1c has constantly been under 7 for 10 years now so I'm not sure how much difference it would make to my hba1c.
If its something you want to go for then there is no harm in asking, there is a section here on pumping where you could ask questions if you want more info 🙂
 
Hey Northey, SNAP! Mine is after a Biryani last night, so I'm happy with that.
 
10.3 - think Tom needs to stop dreaming of sweets 🙄
 
from 15 to 18, small numbers I know but makes a difference! will see how the next few days go at 18...

That's a 20% increase though, quite a lot. Mind you, impossible to do a 10% increase with lantus when you're on 15 as no half-unit pens! I'd have been tempted to increase to 16 or 17 at most, but that's possibly because I've always been very cautious as I live alone.
 
I knew there was a chance of waking in the 3's but that doesn't bother me to be honest I will prob adjust to 16 or 17 in a few days!
 
5.1 - bedtime
11.7 - this morning

for me......😡
 
A perfect 6.0 on a lovely sunny day. I do believe spring has arrived in the Highlands at last. This is he first morning I haven't woken up shivering with the cold.
 
Mmmm 14.1 before bed- footy training- bread/ cheese/nut or 2
7.2 this am-- am I going wrong somewhere with this bedtime thing and footy?
