[Diabetes-talk] Can Anyone Help?

[Bridgit Pollpeter]

You don't use an insulin pump because you have bad A1-C results. A pump
is an insulin treatment most insulin dependent diabetics can opt for.
Most kids with type 1 and other type 1 diabetics are encouraged to use a
pump. In fact, most doctors insist you have decent control before
switching to a pump. So whether you have good or bad A1-C numbers, it
has little bearing on why and when a person chooses to use a pump.

Hi Sascha!

Welcome!

I have had Type 1 Diabetes for 47 years and visually impaired for the
last 
26 years.  I use insulin injections of Humalog before each meal and
Lantus 
twice a day.  I do not use an Insulin pump because my A1C tests are in
the 
proper range.

You will have to keep us up to date on European Insulin Pumps because I 
believe they are on the market sooner than in the United States.

Warmly, Joy
