Re: [IPk] CGM?
I am beginning to think about it. Other than the pump issue I am happy with
the clinic (believe it or not). All the staff know me, have followed me
through pregnancy and I feel comfortable there.
I am learning a lot on here. And I have started doing a carb counting
course online, so I have something to show them when I go for my next
appointment. I also have a contact on the periphery of the team who I am
going to get to give me some pointers.
What I don't understand is how people are having pumps offered to them when
they don't even ask for them, as someone on here said is happening to her.
I think what really winds me up is the fact that this is as good as it gets.
No-one has made much effort in finding a way of taking the pressure off
diabetics. I understand a cure isn't really an option, but the fact that a
closed loop system is still not possible, and the technology is so
expensive. Yet I have a high performing Iphone for #30 a month. Drug
companies have no incentive to help. Old Bill Gates could put some of his
charitable efforts into developing medical technology (as well as helping
the third world of course).
