hello
I have been type 1 for over 50yrs. Recently I asked my gp for a pump . He gave me a referral and I have seen a specialist nurse about this. The reason I want one is I have now got a lot of swelling and lumps, also my control now seems not good. I have had extensive laser surgery on both eyes and have limited movement in both shoulders. I still work though. The nurse seemed to agree with me about a pump but when she put it to the consultant he said I do not meet the criteria. I am worried about my eyes as he has now put me on old fashioned insulin 2 a day. I have done the DAFNE course and was followinrg the regime. Sugars now terrible but I am seeing nurse again soon.
