[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 1604046"] Have you spoken to your diabetes health care team about this? Although the interpretation of the pump criteria varies per area, it is always your team who you need to liaise with. It is probably useful to think about the criteria in the links [USER=276670]@claire1991[/USER] provided above to set out your argument. Unfortunately, a pump is not a cure and is not a simplification of your diabetes control: it is less forgiving than injections when you get your carb counting wrong. In my area, for example, we are required to go on a DAFNE-type course to prove we understand this before qualifying. It is not the same everywhere so, as well as being prepared with your argument why your would benefit from a pump, it may be useful to be prepared with an explanation of how you cope with carb counting. Good luck (sorry to say, there does seem to be some luck involved) [/QUOTE]
