[QUOTE="ronialive, post: 419446, member: 53168"] hi- I had to fight for my pump as I was on pig insulin but I meet all the criteria and so in dec I started. I got on so well I have now changed to apidra and am very happy - my control has never been so good. What I wanted to tell you is that I have a waterproof one. I have recently worked on a children holiday camp with children who had learning disabilities. I went abseiling, canoeing, kayaking, walking miles a day - drop wires, fencing trampolining . The pump did not catch stick out , get broken or get noticed by the children who were in need of lots of physical help with these activities. you will need to be referred to the pump clinic but ask. It is well worth it.occasionally iot can be seen but people are used to pagers and phones etc so don't even bat an eyelid. I had months of appointments to get one and had it on 6 months trial at first. I am off trial and now I get to keep it. what area of uk are you in- I am in Bristol. [/QUOTE]
