hi,
listen guys, i had experience with both human and animal insulin, before i considered the pump, i tried the basal/bolus, and i've even tried lantus and levevmir, and surprise surprise, nothing working. When i first joined this site, i was endlessly searching the net for some answers to my long and stressful, diabetes problems. my partner had no choice but to take it private health care, and we are not rich people, trust me on that. He had not choice but to remortage the house, and fund anyway possible, to save my life from long term complication. As some of you may be questioning if the pump is ideal for young and old, BELIEVE ME!!! when i say this, its the only way forward for complete diabetes control.
If some perfer to stay on the injection, thats there choice, but i think it also should be a free choice on the NHS, that the pump should be available, which at the moment, its not that easy, as there is the postcode lottery saga as a major issue. :?
