The nhs guidelines say that in order for adults to receive nhs insulin pump therapy funding you must satisfy one of these:
- If the person is aged 12 or older and hypos occur frequently or without warning, causing anxiety about recurrence and a negative impact on your quality of life
- OR your HbA1c is still 8.5% or above despite carefully trying to manage your diabetes, including the use of Lantus or Levemir
My control is good enough that I don't qualify for either of those, but I'm finding that I'm struggling to inject anymore, due to lipohypertrophy and scarring all over my body. I am wondering how everyone has managed to get their insulin pumps?
Did you have bad control, do you still have bad control, are you self funding, or did you get it on some other circumstances?
