Quest 1. Again, I am in my late 30’s but this is the second time that I have been on a pump the first was in my late 20’s and while I was pregnant (this was a loan pump through the hospital) which I found worked really well. I was put off because of the huge expense involved but finally decided to take the plunge and go ahead as you have to look at the long term goals and for me it is trying to get rid of the hypo’s (hasn’t happened yet – but the swings are a lot less now).

Quest 2. I know before I got the pump a lot of the companies that I spoke to were willing to give you a trial or at least a demo (because they want you to be happy) but also I spoke to the specialist and nurses that I see and they were able to assist where possible.

Quest 3. Don’t know the answer, just remember that a pump is still not a cure it is still a lot of work to get it anything close to right or close to ‘normal’.

Good luck
