no & no here too! Most people achieve better control (a reduction in HbA1c and/or less swings) on a pump which equals a better chance of a longer and healthier life…. pumps should be personal choice and available to everyone who is able to use one.
As a parent I would love CGM’s to be available and Marc to use them, but he wouldn’t. Maybe he will in the future, but I still think they should be available also as they must help control and quality of life. My chemist told me pumps are not expensive compared to other medications and the Royal College of Physicians said that too in defence of pumps. We are being brain washed to believe we are asking the world by wanting and ‘expensive treatment’ when they really aren’t that expensive at all.
