Starting tomorrow

[Maryanne29]

I get my pump tomorrow! I'm booked in for a four hour training session with two other starters which is nice as we will all be from the same area and can maybe stay in touch. I'm feeling nervous / excited this evening but can't wait to get going.

The process from the pump being suggested by my gp surgery to going live has been exactly six months. From what I 've seen on here that isn't very long so I feel pretty lucky.

Good luck Maryanne! 🙂

Good luck, I'm sure you will be fine though 🙂

Good luck, the waiting was defiantly the worst part for me. I'd managed to dream up all sorts of "worst case" ideas by my 2pm training session.

I am now pumping! The training was good and at the moment my bg is 4.8.Just bolused for my very late lunch and had no problems Long may this continue although I know there will be ups and downs sometimes. So far the biggest problem is where to store all the extra stuff!

Glad to hear the training went well - hope things go smoothly (or as smoothly as these things can do, given the amount of stuff to learn and consider!) 🙂

I've been pumping a week now, and apart from very first cannula being kinked and not delivering, its going very well - haven't had any double figures glucose readings!
