Pumps? CGM? no clue!

Insulin Pump Therapy is an alternative to multiple daily injections of insulin. A sophisticated pump continuosly releases insulin in to your body meaning good-bye injections! It helps your blood sugar react more normally to food/drink and physical activity and many studies show improved blood glucose control with the use of a pump. Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) means no more finger pricking and normally gives you readings every few minutes or so, allowing you to spot trends, and also see what happens to your levels through the night.
To be approved for either of these you'll need to meet the NICE specifications which your local NHS care quality commission will use to determine suitability.
Both CGM and insulin pumps can be quite costly, which explains the long winded process to getting approved.

Hope this helps

Search Google for 'NICE insulin pump' and follow the first link, it's the full gov guidance for insulin pumps.
Search for insulin pumps on the diabetes.co.uk website and also Google search for INPUT, a charity which offers help and information to people looking at getting a pump.
For CGM, the Freestyle Libre just got approved by the NHS (I spoke to my Consultant 2 weeks ago and I move from finger pricking to CGM next week) so I'd say bring it up at your meeting at the hospital and ask whether you'd be suited for the Libre system.

Take a look at the libre website, it explains it quite well. I spent about a month with them fitted at the start of this year for a medical trial and they did me wonders!
