[QUOTE="ebony321, post: 222903, member: 17199"] Hi Katy, My heart goes out to you, you sound like one tough cookie thats for sure! Don't apologise for speaking about your problems, that's what the forum is here for! I have only had diabetes for almost 3 years, so no complications... But i do know what it feels like to not be able to get control, then be given a wonderful insulin pump. I cannot understand why they would take it away because your registered blind? I can only assume you have some help with your health problems, so i would have thought maybe helping you with your pump could be tied into any carers or assistance you have? especially as poor diabetes control will only worsen your other health problems. Have you tried contacting your PCT about this? that the pump was so beneficial for you that extra steps and arrangements should be looked into so you can still have an insulin pump, if you got the hang of it before, then you could simply arrange for somebody to do the techincal side for you such as changing cartridges and altering your basal rates and bolus amounts?? It really does seem like if you could get the insulin pump back you could improve some of your complications thus improving your life and mood as you seem so terribly lost as to where to turn next. You have already braved so much and i hope things improve for you, i'm sorry i couldn't be more help to you. Keep up hope and be as positive as you can Katy. All the best xxx [/QUOTE]
