[QUOTE="leahkian, post: 1643623, member: 32193"] With illness comes unstable BS but if this has been going on before this then you do have a problem. I was at my local hospital for 6 months and they could not get my BS under control which made me throw the pump back at them. I did some research and found a doctor at Newcastle who was not only in charge of insulin pumps but also a part of the transplant team, so i went to see him and with in 3 weeks he had my BS under control and also got me on the transplant list asap. This consultant gave me hope and was one of a very few consultant who would let you and him come to a joint plan of the way forward, there are doctors out there who are more willing to take advice off the person who knows there body better than anyone. If you are feeling that you are not getting the correct treatment you can go to your GP's and ask to see someone at a different hospital for a different point of view. You will know your own body better than anyone else and as all diabetics are different sometimes you have to to go to some where new to get a different choice. [/QUOTE]
