I am 22 years old and 6 years ago since I have DM1.My glucosylated hemoglobin was 6.5 the last.
The only problems is that I continue with enough hypoglycemia and the occasional oscillation so that my endocrine has recommended that I be encouraged to put on the insulin pump.
For more Inri, it also appeared to me in the last analytical microalbumine of 100, something that had never appeared to me.The endocrine did not mention anything about it, and when I asked it gave more importance to my hypos than to this.
I go to the gym, as well, if it is true that I smoke from time to time (I do not consider me a regular smoker) and I am in the university so from time to time I have anxiety, stress ..
With regard to the bomb the only thing that stops is the aesthetics the truth, in the end I am a young girl who likes to fix, put my tops and have something in the gut (but if it has cables) it is not that it is funny.
I belong to SESCAM.I would like you to give me your opinion on the bomb and how was the impact of putting it on it.

Hello good. The other day just my endocrine also recommends the insulin pump, and I also have enough doubts, especially because of the subject of taking all day connected and with cable ... especially for work theme that seems to mequite uncomfortable. Let's see if you can advise us people who are using it and tell us their experience. All the best

At the beginning of starting to use bomb, we are worried about aesthetics, even with the sensor, it passes.I was worried how to use it with work clothes and at the beach.However, I have hidden the pump on the beach and pool with a shortly short time, with the buttock in gluteus and the pump and infusion system inside the swimsuit.
During the day to day, what I do is always carry the pump in my pocket, much more discreet than using the tweezers and belts.

The control with the pump is much better than with retarded insulins, because you can vary the "basal" throughout the day, and make changes does not imply such long dead times.Bolus of food or correction is more or less the same, with the comfort that you can put them discreetly.The patch must be changed for every 3 days, because if not, the insertion point is inflamed, but in half dispenses with feathers and needles.
In return is comfort and aesthetics, of course.The model that is now put on is the 640 of Medtronics and it has a 60 cm pipe, the device is smaller than a mobile of those now, but much wider, carries a 3 cm3 tank, the engine, the monitor, and an AA battery.That means that you live together with a pot that must be left somewhere (normally in a pocket), 24 hours a day.
I am already an older man, I care little about aesthetics and my life is repossed, but young people have to value the thing.Anyway, the pump can be removed temporarily, the patch is left with a plug, and then you can put it again.Thus, maybe to get into the pool for a while or practice a violent sport or for other activities that it is not convenient (for example, in bed, you already understand me), you can take it out for a while.I carry a basal between 0.75 and 1.25 U/H, and run out of it between 30 min and 1 hour has almost no effect, and also if it has it, it can be corrected with a micro bolus very quickly.
For the rest, the bomb is a robust pot, it needs a quite strong blow to break, much more than just fall to the ground, and it is waterproof and airtight, you can bathe with it.

@perlman The bomb is put for many reasons and reduce them to that people who cannot control or even approach 7% seem to reduce the reasons why people decide to put on a bomb.
I have been a Medtronic for three months.Before I took Free for two years, and with him I reduced my hypos and my gly, but I have decidedto wear with me somewhat stuck and hanging all the time.
It is good that I have something attached to my body all day (the pump), but after the first days you almost even remember, you end up normalizing and learning what you have to do at all times or how to manage topics such as going to the bathroom, shower, maintain sexual relations, etc ... the first times, as in everything, fears and doubts arise, but once defeated, there are more advantages than the inconveniences.
Each one who carries what he wants or can, but does not reduce the reasons for carrying a bomb or not simply to two ...

perlman said: hello.The people I know who carry the perfect theory, bomb with the sensor that starts and for the pump, have almost as many hypoglycemia as before putting on the pump, for the simple reason that the accuracy of the Dexcom sensor they have is worse than theFree2, that is to say.Sometimes the hypos notice them and the sensor does not find out, or the sensor for the pump is already late.But these people have the pump or for not being able to control and approach 7% or by the levels required in pregnancies.
With good control, to lower the hypos is the free sensor2, which is why they put it to me.
Being at 6.5% only for the hypos I really do not see the pump.
Greetings.
I think you simplify too much.In my case, I have never gone from 6.3-6.4.As I explained, they put the bomb to enable a variable basal pattern and avoid hypoglycemia.I believe that this is the main reason, limiting hyperglycemia can be done quickly.It is easy to understand: I p.eg.He had a lEVEMIR every 12 h.That implies 2 12 h steps and a delay to change them more than 24. With the pump, in less than 1-2 weeks, you give a variable pattern that leaves you flat all day.

And can I put it in other areas apart from the gut?

perlman said: @amiranda in case I was not clear, I speak of people with bomb I know, and what the signingist proposed for my nocturnal hypoglycemia.Spot.
I do not know where to read that I generalize in the only two reasons to put them on, for other experiences are those of others.
Greetings
At no time have I used the word generalize ... although sometimes the texts have a subtext and say more than one is believed.

Obviously, the flexibility of the pump cannot be compared to a slowA radical change.I know people who have not even tried the Tresiba because its Epecialist does not offer it and does not know the change that it can assume in the control, with a test as simple as a 3 -month recipe as I started.
