Hi all...
Well after my comments to Phoebe the other day, looks like I am going to have to take my own advice! 😱
I was just wondering, has anyone managed to get the hospital to put them onto a pump whilst pregnant?...I was supposed to start on a pump today, but after getting a (well, 2, I didn't believe the first!!) postive preg test yesterday they are now refusing to put me on a pump... I can kind of understand why, ketones & all, but if my control is bad (HbA1c of 7.5% in June, but things have got even worse since then...) on MDI surely that's a definite risk as opposed to the possible risk of ketones on the pump?! 😡 Anyway, I digress...
Has anyone managed to persuade the hospital to put them onto a pump despite being already pregnant, and if so, how did it go?!
Really hope someone has some good experience out there!!
Thanks,
Twitchy
