Pump or not to pump?

Yep I got the omnipod dash when I was 18 weeks pregnant. Had been on injections since 1997! My baby girl is 6 weeks old now and it's slightly harder to control as I didn't have a regime to go back to after pregnancy...but still I'm rarely ever over 9 and been over 10 maybe three times. Best thing I did! Feel free to ask any questions and I'll try to help! x

@Maria will DM you, thank you very much for replying 😁 xx

I was already on a pump when I got pregnant. I found it very difficult to manage my sugar during my pregnancy even wearing a pump. I had several instances when my sugar would drop so low. I think now with wearing a G7 this device would have helped being pregnant immensely.

I was on a Medtronic pump when I got pregnant and it seemed a bit easier for me to control my sugars but still can’t always be in that target area. Also had more lows then highs I would definitely recommend the CGM and pump combo it makes it very easy with a closed system at least in my experience

Hey Jasmin I too was already on a Medtronic pump when pregnant. Having the pump and CMG was the best to enable me to control my blood sugars. Couldn’t recommend it enough!! I have always been a brittle diabetic so the pump and CGM was a real game changer. I got my Hba1c down from mid 7s to 5.5 during pregnancy!!! And now 4 yrs on I have been able to maintain an average around 6.2. I think these days the technology is getting so much better they even allow you to stay on the smart guard/continuous loop a fair way into your pregnancy. Definitely worth it. If you need any more help please reach out ❤️

I was on MDI until my 31st week of pregnancy and finally got a Ypsomed pump, it's made a huge difference so I definitely think it's worth it, although I don't have the same pump as you mentioned.
