Alas, in my area West Berkshire , it is not nhs funded at the moment. He tells me I would be the ideal candidate for this and they are busy writing policies, protocols and procedures at the moment but watch this space!I would love an automated insulin pump as it would make my erratic diabetes much easierAt the moment I have just started splitting my doses to before and after meals on advice from diabetic dietician who has access to my Libre2 data. This means more injections on a daily basis but I am willing to do this to avoid the high and low glucose levels.I have also yesterday started to carb count! Not a big carb consumer but I do need to raise my intake to try and put some weight on! What a vicious circle! But better this than what could have beenI am not big on sports but I am a very active 73 year old who loves to walk dailyBefore diagnosis and treatment I could walk anywhere between 2-6 miles a few times a week. Gradually getting my walking legs back but nowhere near my best at the momentI am much improved.Would be interested in your journey to a successful infusion pumpJanet</blockquote>
