| To pump or not to pump...?
I have been a Type 1 diabetic for almost 19 years. Like most of you, I've had ups and downs. For the last 3+ years, my endo has been suggesting that I switch to a pump. I have researched and weighed all the pros/cons and am still not sure if it's right for me. I'm currently on Humalog/Lantus combo. It works ok for me and my A1C's are usually good.
I'm very active and that's what's giving me some pause. I play basketball 3 times a week, work out 3x a week and race a motorcycle during the warm months. I check my blood often, but am considering the Medtronic pump with the CBGM wireless piece. It seems like it would make life simpler for me. I'm concerned about the activities and the pump interfering with each other.
The cost is a factor for me, but my health is worth whatever I can pay. If anyone else has made the switch or has relevant experience, please let me know your thought/suggestions/etc.
Thanks!! |
