Hi  SusanThanks for yuor support. I am right now trying to get the pump I am jus so confused about which one to get .i have experience with the pump even though i am  dibatice for 30 uears, Your alc is awesomw mine is a 9 but I am working on it real hard. I wish you the best of luck in your plans on having a baby. You seem to be on the right track and in good health. keep my posted on what is happening and iwill do the same if that is ok. Thanks again susan. 

I decided to join this board after I read your post, I usually just lurk here.  I've been type 1 for 41 years, I got my first pump 22 years ago when I became pg with our first daughter, I was 33.  We had our 2nd DD when I was 36.  Both pregnancies were pretty normal, lots of testing and 10 times the normal amount of insulin, but the pump makes all that so much easier to manage, both girls were born by natural childbirth and best of all healthy.  I have always had a Minimed, just got a new one in Aug.  I hope you can get one, it will make a huge difference in your A1C's and you really need to get yours down, my last was 5.9.  My dr even wanted me to have a good A1C several months prior to getting pg.  I wish you all the best.  Deidre
