[QUOTE="Stuboy, post: 50503, member: 7759"] you need to read over the NICE guidelines for pumps. Because Pump therapy is so expensive, they only give them to people who can't get good control on MDI. If you have a lot of hypo's, or you cant get your HbA1c down below 8.5% on MDI then you should have a good chance of at least trying a pump. They can't refuse based on funding, but you do need to meet the requirements for funding. [url=http://www.nice.org.uk/nicemedia/pdf/FinalAppraisalDeterminationIP.pdf]NICE Guidelines here[/url] It will also pay to do some research on how the pump can be better for you, they will probably ask you what you're goals on the pump will be. You will need to have detailed logs of your BG and also be able to carb count and have a good understanding of how insulin works and your insulin to carb ratio's. [/QUOTE]
