Pumps are available on the NHS for those who fit the criteria, take a look at the following as it has some excellent advice and information on insulin pumps and the process involved in getting one:

Hello Nayera,
when you next go to your diabetes clinic apt ask the consultant or nurse about pumps :) Can you count carbs and test your blood sugar as this is a must for having a pump? The rules are slightly different for qualifying for a pump when under 12 so do ask.
