[QUOTE="Flowerpot, post: 577677, member: 47217"] Hi Kirsty Do you go to a hospital diabetes clinic? Any request for a pump or for CGM funding would come through them and need to be supported by your diabetes consultant. A pump could help enormously with the erratic insulin needs you are experiencing as it gives you a great deal of options for this, setting different basal rates, using temporary basal rates and making quick specific changes to your control. On the CGM funding front, it is a grey area depending on the problems you are facing and even then it doesn't mean you will be successful. For that reason you would probably be in the same boat as any Type 1 who puts in a funding request, it is an individual consideration. Loss of hypo awareness is the main reason for funding requests. Worth while asking about it as you never know what the outcome might be. Discuss the problems you are having with control and hypos with the clinic you attend.. It seems unfair that you are not covered by any guidelines for pump therapy despite having a defunct pancreas. I hope you get some help with your control. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
