Hello fellow peeps with diabetes. I am new to the forums but not to having type 1 - 17 years.
 
Hi, and welcome to the forum. I hope all is well, are you on a pump or injections?

I am on injections. Waiting to see a consultant for consideration of a pump, but lockdown has got in the way of that.

Good to hear that you will be given access to a pump. Sorry that you have a delay in setting this up, but it will be worth the wait. In the mean time you could have a look at a couple of books, Pumping Insulin and Think Like A Pancreas. Bothe well worth reading, although some of it will only make sense once you have got going with the pump.
 
welcome to the forum @Youngt1

We have quite a few pump users here, who can share their experiences (some have decades of pump user under their belts!) and support you when you start - and answer any questions you have beforehand.

Many manufacturers are arranging online ‘virtual’ pump starts and training for people who aren't able to go into clinics 🙂
