[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 649625, member: 17713"] A lot of type 2's don't need injections, some even come off tablets.i can't get my head around how it could be cheaper on a monthly basis for a pump by the figures that you have quoted. I do believe that all persons that meet a criteria should be able to have a pump without a fight, but all costs have to be added in to a balance for budgets and true costs. Only reckoning on monthly costs is not a true realisation. The costs of sets and tubes, batteries are enormous on a monthly basis and the additional tests that pump users tend to do compared to mdi is more as well. I think to stand any chance of pumps for everybody you would need to break down the costs in further detail. My personal advice would be to push for yourself, contact the people that are experts in insulin resistance etc because diabetes co uk and others cannot manage to persuade governments to look at blood strips to type 2's let alone pumps! I think that possibly lip service has been made on your calls... Concentrate on your own needs before actioning for everybody. Not meant harshly, but with recent events in your health, I think you got to contact the insulin resistance experts etc that you were advised to contact as a priority,. [/QUOTE]
