please can anyone tell me if insulin pumps are available for type 2 diabetics as i havent taken any insulin since oct 2010 as i cant handle all the injection and think a pump would be better as you only change needle every couple of days please help.
I have read somewhere in the past that an extremely small amount of Type 2's which use insulin have a pump. I also read that they were all under the same consultant too.
The only way to be sure is to ask your consultant or specialist.
If you plan to enquire i would definately build up reasons why you would benefit from a pump.
sometimes it's very hard for a Type 1 to get funding for a pump so unfortunately i think you would have to fight to get one.
I don't believe that you should have to be type 1 to qualify for a pump, i think it should be insulin users of any type..
I wish you all the best though, feel free to ask anything you like about pumps
