Hi all,
On Monday this week i had an appointment with my diabetes specialist nurse - turns out my HBA1C has gone up again.
My nurse has given me an Acc-Chek Aviva Expert meter which so far has been brilliant. She also said it's exactly the same as the remote for the pump, and showed me how a pump works. I didnt know how they worked before then and it looks like it's a pretty good setup.
I'm just looking for some pros and cons of changing to a pump - I hate using the insulin pens, I bugger it up often and end up with bruises everywhere, so I'm thinking of asking to give the pump a go.
Any opinions would be great.
Thanks in advance.
