What are people's thoughts about insulin pumps as I would like to try. 1 as I can't seem to keep my blood sugar under control for the last few months
I take 2 levimir now 8 units morning and night but there still saying I don't meet criteria
I am going to sound really thick but what is basal only got diagnosed 2 years ago and still learning a lot
You will need to meet the NICE criteria to get a pump, you can't just try one unfortunately. If you are over 18 basically that means trying to manage either insulin pens and not succeeding in getting your HBa1c into the required range without losing hypo awareness.
And ain't that the biggest irony: to misquote your post on another thread, "you have to be a total car crash" before they'll give you one, but they will remove it even more quickly if you remain one!
