Hi,
I was sent to A&E yesterday due to complex circumstances regarding my mental health in relation to my diabetes, and long story short the mental health team at the hospital and the GP today have both suggested an insulin pump to make my quality of life much better, but that the final decision is up to the endocrinologist.
My questions are how long does the process usually take to get an insulin pump if they consider your circumstances pretty urgent?
And if the GP, mental health team, and diabetes nurse are all backing me up for pump therapy, is it likely I’ll get one? I basically have trauma I can’t overcome when it comes to injecting multiple times daily, and have been fighting for a pump for a long time. Finally found a team that are listening to me!
Happy to answer more questions if needed, and if anyone has tips it’d be much appreciated, thanks!
