I had type 1 for 11months now, I use Levemir and Novorapid at the moment but am still struggling to get my blood sugar where i need it to be. I saw the nurse on Thursday and she suggested i think about using an insulin pump. I have been given an information pack but it seems mostly to tell me why this specific make of pump is the right one for me, rather than telling me the advantages and disadvantages of switching to a pump.
I really want to get my sugars sorted as i want to start a family and i think a pump would help me do this, but i have lots of unanswered questions. hopefully someone can fill me in.
what do I do when i want to shower?
I move around a lot in my sleep what if I pull it out?
And as I said I want to start a family, to put it politely, what about when me and my fiance are in the act of trying for a baby, won't it get in the way?
And the main question is do you get used to it or will it annoy me for the rest of my life?
I'm injecting atleast 5 times a day at the moment so anything that can give me an easier life would be great but is a pump the answer?
