[QUOTE="supergob, post: 290955, member: 21248"] Hi, Can anyone answer my question. I have made a request to my Consultant to have an Insulin Pump fitted, but been refused. Having heard nothing but good about the pump and having trialed a pump under supervision while in hospital for problems with kidneys due to diabetes with great success. I thought it would be a simple job to get permission to have one fitted. But it would appear that because I am a long term type two diabetic (30 years, 20 on insulin) , I do not meet the criteria. The main two reasons given are that I am a [b]Type Two [/b]and or the fact that I use a [b]large volume of insulin.[/b] I currently use two insulin's, one is Lantus long lasting, two injections of 60 and 70 units/ml and Nova Rapid three injections of 60/60 & 70 units/ml. At my last visit to the Consultant I again made a request for a pump and this time he did say that if I could produce any evidence of other type 2 sufferers being fitted with the pump, he would consider fitting one on me on trial. So can anyone help me direct or perhaps point me to where I can find evidence to win over a stubborn consultant. [/QUOTE]
