[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 2031644, member: 53162"] Hi [USER=503481]@MeiChanski[/USER] You generally find people who are using the pump have tried and exhausted themselves on multiple daily injections, so folk who are committed to looking after their diabetes but who are not succeeding in good management and who are prepared to put the effort in, the NHS don't hand pumps out due to cost hence why they are prepared to review cases where patients are showing willing in making it work for them but meet NICE criteria. The pump alone will not avoid hypos/hypers but with careful monitoring and adjustments it can make hypo and hyper events less severe as your taking smaller doses of insulin. I still have the same amount of hypos a week but they are very mild now and easier to treat and recover from. [/QUOTE]
