Hi,
I just started the pump a little over a month ago and am LOVING it! It far outweighs the hassle of wearing it 24/7 and the tubing.
I wanted to find out from you fellow pumpers if you have noticed any positive changes since going on the pump other than your BGs. I didn't have very good control for over ten years on MDI. My feet feel a little different as well as being very dry, and the scrapes/injuries to my body were a little slow to heal and left scars. I am hoping that over time my body will start to heal with better BG control and function more normally.
Have there been others that had any or minor complications prior to the pump and then noticed a healing?
For me, so far, my moods have been way better. Emotionally I am no longer as generally depressed about diabetes, have a much more positive outlook (especially about having babies!) and am more proactive about my health. My libido
has also has increased (hubby loves this!!). I am hoping that in time, my feet won't be so dry and cracked, and that my bodily injuries will heal better.
I look forward to hearing what other stories you have to tell!
