I've been researching the pump and I have to say I don't know whether or not I'm sure about it. On one hand there is the fact that those on the pump do not have to administer as many injections and it is said it gives them better control, however that comes at a price.
The price being I'm not sure whether having something constantly attached to me is the right choice. Also, I do a fair bit of physical activity and I'm not sure whether that would infringe what I do in regards to a lot of walking and swimming.
Furthermore, the device is thousands of pounds and I'm not too keen on having the thought of going on it and having to stay on it if I disliked it.
Like everything, I suppose it has its pros and cons, I had to consider the same pros and cons before taking up the basal bolus and also before taking up cyclophosphamide when I had the kidney problems, I'm going to look into it more and ask my nurses about it, but I don't think i'll end up going on it- I'm sure it's fabulous for some people, but for me it's just not looking like the right choice, and It's not good to go into something without knowing options and pros and cons of what youre going in to.
Keep Smiling :)
Love, tutti-Frutti
