Type 1 diabetes and insulin pump

Hello!!My name is Paula and I am 21 years old.I debuted 9 years ago and yesterday I finally made the first session for the placement of the pump, I am very happy although with some fear for the entire adaptation process.At the moment I am going well !!!

I leave my message here in case someone wants to answer me or provide some information ... Greetings !!!

Hi Paula, it would be good to know how you carry the controls, the bomb they will put on you and that you will tell us a little how the thing is developing ... 😊.

So we learn.

Thanks for sharing.

I wear the 780G Medtronic pump with the simple sensor.At the moment this week I go in manual ... I will tell you !!!:) A pleasure share with you

Follow us counting, Paula.

What treatment did you have before?

What advantages do you see the bomb?

Welcome to the forum!

You will also find pump users here that can help you.

Welcome to the forum @paulabm12!

I carry the Ypsomed, with the Medtronic specifically I will not be able to help you, but with the process of using it, for example, I will tell you that I was also afraid in the first week that I took it, but that I immediately got used to myself and that I am very happyWith the change to the pump.

Courage, you will surely adapt great !!!

Greetings,

Fer, tell us about your bomb too.

Did you adapt well?

Did you improve the glyc?

In short: yes and yes!

The best thing about the adaptation process is that it has made it easy for me, What a flat graph ... ", even today I am surprised to see the graph in the morning almost attached to 100 and flat.

The glyc I improved by lowering 1.5% of how it was, I will pass data when I play the review again.😋

The bomb.For me it has many other advantages, I do not want to give you the Tostón here, I will simply say that I was doubting a long time between the bowling and the bomb, and I am one of those who would not return to the bowling now.I also say, some disadvantages have, for example, it is less how to manage than the bolis, as to that you have to carry the pump grabbed somewhere, I pull the insulin tube, the catheter has to change andIt is more complicated than a puncture with the ball, etc ... but still, I keep the bomb!

Good afternoon, I carry the 780-G Medtronic bomb with simple, for about 15 days and the truth is that I am very happy with the change, as they said before, I have been able to sleep from the pull, all night in the range, sinceThe pump is correcting alone towards its target.I was backing the issue of carrying it on top, the aesthetic issue, but we are already telling you that that will give you the same, when you see how good it is in many other aspects ... greetings and that it goes great:)

Hello good,

I also just put the Medtronic 780G bomb with the simple sensor and sincerely I think it is the best I have been able to do.

I had a few months of bad controls because I had a lot of anxiety and was not able to control how it affected my glucose.I dared to take the step because I could no longer mentally with the disease and I think it is one of the best decisions I have made in a long time.Now I can sleep at night of the pull, I control myself a lot better, even when I'm going to eat out.

I know that the bomb is not made for everyone, but it is always good to prove that it can go with it and if you can not always return to the bowling.

:)
