please could anyone help me n give me some advice on hypo unawareness I've been like this since my oldest son was 5 months old n now he is 5 years old and could anyone give me any information about a insulin pump
 
Welcome to forum.

The usual advice is to run bg levels slightly higher for several weeks to restore the hypo awareness symptoms, but hypo unawareness fits the criteria for getting a insulin pump so do speak with your DSN or Consultant about this.

The following has some great information on insulin pumps and the process involved in getting one on the NHS:

Edit, misread opening post.

Welcome Vickiepee to the forum. there is a free course that you can complete for hypo awareness on this site. What unawareness are you experiencing?

Your care team should be able to assist on the pump and advise.
