Speak to your GP. I had Glucagon prescribed by my GP.

As for a pump, there are specific guidelines as to who can get one. Perhaps you could mention it to your DSN or consultant and see what they advise?

You would need to fit the criteria for a pump, discussing this with your diabetes team would be your fist port of call, however the following has some helpful information & advice on how to get a insulin pump on the NHS:
