I have wanted a pump ever since I was diagnosed in October 2007 when I was 10 and now 17 I still really want a pump.
My diabetes control has never been good I will admit that not only down to me skipping injections but to never finding the right ratios for it.
I'm a an active and very busy young person who is always doing something so I find it hard to stop and do my injections. Sometimes I do genuinely forget to do them.
My nurses have always said my control is way too poor for a pump but I believe it will help me improve my control and fit in perfect with my busy lifestyle.
I was recently taken into hospital for DKA and I seen a different diabetes nurse from a different area and she said no chance at all of me getting a pump.
Now at my ge my diabetes care has been transferred from the children's paediatrics care team to my gp who doesn't specialise either.
I know most decisions are down to funding but I believe this will truly help me.
I am now back of track with bloods being between 4.0-15.0 which is the best they've ever been!
Any advise to help me get a pump?
