@sal18sam16, you'd have to check the prices for private funding in your country. Prices tend to vary from region to region.
If you want a rough idea, you can have a look at this thread which @tim2000s has cobbled together:

Contact the pump companies in your country or perhaps ask your doctor for information and advice.
All Medtronic models in Australia $AU9,500 supplies subsidised approx $AU360 per year. There is Daibetic Educators costs on top of that. Under 18 pumps are free (Aust govt pays) over 18 private health insurance is supposed to pay, but my experience has been they don't.
