Happy new year all. We have finally received our pump and due to start next week. Do hope this will improve Molly's levels as we just can't get things right. We are starting medtronic pump and hoping Molly will accept it. Will keep you all posted. Can anyone recommend any carb counting scales?
Thanks
Claire

Hello Claire, many congratulations on the pump for Molly 🙂
Has the book pumping insulin by John walsh been recommended to you? If not it's on Amazon and worth it's weight in gold.
Scales? Any digi scales will do. Actual carb counting ones not so sure they are worth the money to be honest. Some are less than accurate.
Happy pumping 🙂
 
Yep agree, any digital scales will do, preferrably ones that do liquid as well, which is handy and get yourselves the book or app called Carbs and Cals.

Good luck, you've got a fab pump there. 🙂

We've got a hospital appointment in 10 days and are hoping that Abigail's consultant will mention about her having a pump. Please keep us updated how its going, it'll be good to know what your experience is. Good luck
