[QUOTE="submarinerLV, post: 726946, member: 35268"] Unfortunately when my pump decided to break down completely it was the day I moved house so at the time locating insulin pen injections proved to be impossible. That then took me to Northampton hospital where they had no measures in place whatsoever to provide me with a new pen injection as the cupboard was locked lol. I will be writing the CCG because the reality is I will be getting a new pump. It's just sheer lunacy that they would only deem this action to take place once my current pump packs in and like the guy at Roche said to me yesterday the whole process going back and forth until and order eventually comes over for new pumps from the hospital is long & drawn out. So really it is in their interests to avoid any situations where this could well happen. For me, I just cannot get on with injection therapy. Background insulin through injections leads to my levels being absolutely all over the place because the insulin acts unpredictability whereas as we all know from being on the pump, once mastered, the control can be so tightly maintained through the exact does of insulin regardless.
