[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1309406, member: 32394"] If your daughter doesn't test and is resistant to testing I would be really concerned that a pump is probably not the first option to try - pumping insulin safely does require testing. You also have to change the cannula every few days. Pumps aren't just available to buy, the selle will need to be confident that ther will be medical supervision and support; it's the medical supervision and support that is time consuming and if your clinic has a year long waiting list for a pump this is probably due to the unavailability of pump trained DSNs. I would suggest that your daughter might be better off add ressing her resistance engaging with her diabetes; seek psychological support from your team. Have you looked at continuous glucose monitoring or flash glucose monitoring as a means of over coming the resistance to testing? [/QUOTE]
