If you're anywhere near and are even thinking about a pump (or have one already, because you'll need a new one eventually), this will definintely be worth the trip. I went to an INPUT one in Chester a few months ago, and it's the first time I've ever been able to eyeball each of the pump companies, play with their pumps and talk to them about why they think their's is better than the rest. And it's always nice to bump into a few other pump users and have a chat with them too.

I hope you have a great day Alba.

Thanks for telling us your experience Alison, glad you enjoyed it. We hope this day will be beneficial for pumpers and potential pumpers. It's just spreading the word so people know about it. Not been over to post at Shootuporputup yet! X

I know there is no perfect thing but a pump is good ! After my 46yrs of T1 & 3yrs of pump it would take a very big bloke to get it off me (& i mean it) 😉

Thanks for the details of this. Will definately be attending. Ive never even seen a pump (except in pictures) - so would be good to learn more. Cheers Melissa

Looking foreward to my wee run to Glasgow on Sat see you there

 

[randomange]

Yup, I'll be there! And I think I'll be bringing a straggler along - the daughter of one of my mum's friends is diabetic, and is (I believe) on MDI, but has horrendous issues with hypos, and very little awareness. I suggested she come along to find out about pumps and meet some fellow diabetics who can tell her that she shouldn't have to put up with her current situation! 🙂
