Hi All! I'm Chris and I've been diabetic type 1 for over 12 years now - and consistently been using insulin injections on a basal bolus regime. I have mostly had good control and generally have HBA1c results between 6 - 7.5, however I've constantly been asking my diabetes team (Salford, Greater Manchester) to have an insulin pump to help me achieve even better control and also to help minimise hypos (something I do have a problem with). However - I constantly am refused because my control is 'too good' or the latest is that pumps are not funded in this authority any more. Does anybody have experience of moving from injections to a pump - would be very interested to hear how you managed to achieve this switch and if it has benefited you.
Many thanks in advance, Chris
