A few of you have been asking me recently what’s happening with my journey to a pump. Well, the answer is: not a heck of a lot.

After the collossal failure of the CGMS, I’m sort of in limbo. I am trying not to be cross at the health professional who set me up on it: it was a faulty cable which caused the lack of readings and she pretty much admitted she’d suspected it was on its last legs, and is now going to order a new cable. Why she didn’t think to do a couple of hours’ trial on herself or someone else before she made me wear it and not sleep properly for three nights while it beeped away (because it was FAULTY!) is a bit beyond me. Anyway, moving right along.

I’m still waiting for an appointment with the pump team, which I’m told might take another month. I got my hopes up on Monday because they’d put an appointment in with a nurse – and I was lead to believe this nurse was my gateway to the pump team. I turned up and the pair of us were as confused as each other – she had absolutely no connection to the pump team, no idea why I’d been sent and no means to help me get any further unfortunately. Not a step backwards per se, but a waste of precious working hours out of my day and a pretty sharp step sideways!

So – I’ll keep on as I am and keep you guys in the loop. Have a good day!
