I have been a diabetic for 15 years now. I did a IDAC course a couple of years ago and I have better control now than ever before and I have managed to lose about 3st!
I am now considering switching to an insulin pump but don't think I will qualify for one on the NHS so can I buy one and would I then be able to get the ongoing items (insulin, needles etc) on prescription?
Also does anyone know if any of the insulin pumps do continuous blood glucose monitoring/automatically alter the insulin dose or if that looks like it is coming soon!
