I have not been over 140 in about 9 months, THAT is how you achieve great control.
-Lloyd | I believe Stuboy is making a reference to the guidelines for pump therapy over here in the UK which some hospitals stick to rigidly. In essence, such places will only consider you for a pump if your attempts to get your HBA1c below 8 give you unpredictable and disabling hypos as a side order. The definition of 'disabling' has been 'needs the assistance of another person'. The fact that not many people fall into that category is one of the main reasons why pumpers in the UK account for around 1 in 50 T1s compared with 1 in 8ish for some other places in Europe which have public healthcare systems.

...And through the night it's love is free
It whispers and it flirts with me
And then it takes me, hard and deep
Rolls over, farts and falls asleep
And I would wake up, feeling used
My body broken, bent, abused
But now I match it, hump for hump
I give it plenty with my pump
