[QUOTE="stuartander2008, post: 270489, member: 44030"] Hi Everyone, I have had T1 coming up to 5 years, and im really not coping with it. I have seriously had enough of the daily chore in order to stay healthy. I am taking an incrediable amount of insulin at the moment, depending on what im eating i take between 10 - 20 unit of fast acting each time i eat. and 60 units of long acting before bed along with another 10 units in the morning. I also take 4 metforming throughout the day and 2 blood pressure tablets. (Sounding rediculas, i know). I am that fed with with all this medication and control i need to have it reduces me to tears when i think of it (which im sure you can guess is everytime i do ANYTHING). I have seen a few things on facebook posted by diabetes UK about pumps, so this morning after my diabetes appointment i had last week (was told i need to have more control) i thought i would read about insulin pumps and other diabetes meds. I have found an insulin pump that actually seems like a dream ;) its the Paradigm Veo- when i say dream i mean oh my god this cant be real!! I didnt know that pumps and do insulin as well as glocose monitoring, i can not explain how much it would mean to me to have this treatment, it even suspends insluin when bs is below a programmed point! My worry is i dont think i would get it on the NHS in these economic times. My main reason for posting on here was to see if anyone else had problems getting an insulin pump and how you persuded your GP or whoever to let you have one. At the moment i feel so depressed and it seems i just seen a light at the end of this dark tunnel :) [/QUOTE]
