I have my new clinic appointment tomoz but I don't know what I should be asking or telling or doing.... help please xx
 
Are you still thinking of a pump, hon? Because you might want to get some stuff organised if you're still thinking of pushing for one.

Maybe ask about the best places to alternate site test, or getting a CGM, if you're finding it's too much on your arms?
 
Hiya

Good luck for tomorrow.

Ask them that you want to see a dietician and some pointers on carb counting. Ask for a pump ! Start laying the groundwork about why you want one.

Yep you could ask for a go on CGMS and say you are worried about overnight hypos perhaps.

Don't be nervous, be brave, this is a great move.

Thankies x

Anything else I should ask or talk about or take or do???
 
Do you upload your meter readings, you could take them with you, past two weeks would be good.
 
Hope it goes well Lou, ask about that carb counting course at the Cedar centre, I know you're doing well but a course will give you even more help & advice. Ask the fella if he has any questions too, maybe write them all down no matter how daft they may seem to you.
Hope all goes well.
