[QUOTE="azure, post: 1433992, member: 39639"] It wasn't too hard to get the porcine insulin. I made it clear to my consultant that I was determined to have it : D She asked me a few questions which I answered with the help of the IDDT and then she gave me the go ahead and wrote the prescription :) My DSN/pump nurse never questioned that. This is the second pump I've used porcine in and I haven't had any issues at all. I don't use my tummy for sets any more as it doesn't work (I used it for the first few years of pumping). I use my bum and my legs :) Don't let people tell you what to do. It's your diabetes :) One thing I will say though is that you need to get the hang of a pump. My DSN helped me for the first three days, phoning to check my BS and helping when I was unsure if I'd put a set in properly, but I've always altered my own basal and done my own ratios after the initial set up.
