Hi,
I've just been turned down for a pump at the MDT meeting, said I need to see the dietician (already done), consider changing my basal-bolus routine (do they think that wasn't tried first?) and change my insulin.
Toujeo or Degludec have been suggested... anyone had good results with one or the other in comparison to Lantus? The Lantus just doesn't seem to work and dietician said she'd expect me to be half of what I am on.
Also, who can change it? Next consultant appointment isn't until August and DSN is on holiday so no reply. I'm sick of feeling ill and just want it sorted now.
Mixed feelings though as if insulin change works I won't be offered a pump anyway. Job, stress etc that were cited as reasons to have one by consultant don't appear to have even been considered
