HI. Ive been Diabetic for nearly 9 years! Im due to see my pump nurse to discuss which pump I would like on Fri. I only heard today that Ive got the funding. Ive been carb-counting religously for the last couple of months and definately feel better, having less hypos etc. The biggest problem I have with it is I cook alot and finding it difficult working the carbs in a homecooked meal! Part of me is excited about the pump and the other is petrified! Does anyone else feel like that??

Hi Debz,

Welcome to the forum.
Great news about you getting your pump:D. I can't speak personally about pumps, but I am sure someone will be able to offer you valuable advice on here regarding pumps etc

Hi Deb
Congrats on the pump! We are just waiting to hear if my son's application for a pump has been accepted. Should be hearing news any day now!
I can understand your mixed feelings but i think the pump will make a positive difference to my son and i hope to you too.
I carb count homecooked meals. It seems a lot to start with but, like everything else, gets easier with practice.
Feel free to send me a PM anytime re pump or carb counting. 🙂
