[QUOTE="Lucypieee, post: 417762, member: 49843"] Hi Becky, sorry to see you've had such problems with consultants etc. speak to your GP about going onto Insulin Pump Therapy, make sure you know what criteria you meet and how you think it'll benefit you and if you are ever told no, make sure you challenge it and have a legitimate answer (they can't be denied through lack of funding). They don't stick out at all, though you might be self conscious because you know it's there, but that depends on the individual. (And sometimes the clothes you wear) you can buy holders to attach it to your leg, waist or arm and these are reasonably discreet under clothing (obviously if you have on tight clothing than you may be able to see it), in my experience most people don't really notice it. The pump itself isn't too big, I'm on the Medtronic Veo and that's about 2/3 the length of an iPhone and a little thicker. Best of luck! Sent from Diabetes.co.uk Forum App [/QUOTE]
