Hi Everyone

[Joanne5]

Hi All
Ive just joined this group as i want to talk to others who know about having diabetes and can share the experiences and knowledge with me.
I am 38 years old and am Type 1, been diagnosed for 3 years and have never had any sort of good control, trying different types of insulin with no luck.
Have been accepted for a pump - just waiting now for the call. Have so many question tho and starting to worry about having it.
Thanks for reading and look forward to chatting to you all🙂

Hi Joanne, welcome to the forum 🙂 We have lots of members who pump, so I'm sure you will have all your questions answered - ask away! I'm told that Pumping Insulin: Everything You Need for Success on a Smart Insulin Pump by John Walsh is indispensable for people new to pumping, so you might want to get hold of a copy if you haven't already 🙂

I look forward to hearing more from you 🙂

Welcome Joanne - if nothing else has worked, then worth trying a pump - good luck with that. There is plenty of knowledge and experience on this board, as well as what you get from your clinic.

Hi Joanne and welcome to the forums. We have a few pumpers on here and I'm sure they'll be happy to share their experiences with you. I hope you don't have to wait too long for yours and that it works well for you when you get it. XXXXX
