Hi and a warm welcome to the forum jenny... have a good browse around and you will see joining this place is the best thing you did, for many of us this has been a lifeline x
 
Hi Jenny,
Welcome to the forum.🙂

What pump are you on? My son (12) has been on his pump for 1 year now and his hba1c has dropped from 9.6 to 7% and he loves it - wouldnt go back to injections for anything.🙂Bev
 
Hi Jenny, welcome to the forum 🙂 We've many 'veterans' here and quite a few pumpers so I'm sure you will be able to share experiences and tips! 🙂
 
Thanks everyone , Bev i am on the Accu-Chek spirit combo 🙂
 
And hello to everyone from the Dafne online website 🙂
 
A warm welcome! 🙂

I've had diabetes for 18 years and have been pumping for just over 1. The pump's made an enormous difference to my control and quality of life.

Looking forward to more posts from you!
