Message: <blockquote data-quote="halfgospel" data-source="post: 98041" data-attributes="member: 22309">Hello Sally,I am new to this forum and although I have been diabetic for nearly 20 years I have recently been told that I will be going onto insulin within the next week. The very thought of nearly 30 injections a week scares me...I am currently on byetta along with lots of tablets eg metformin and sitagliptin but my BG's are still to high, looks like the pancreas has finally stopped producing insulin?Anyway, as I said, I have to visit the Diabetic team on thursday when we shall be discussing insulin etc etc...I have applied today for a bank loan to buy a pump, just incase the NHS won't deliver. Your offer of a pump would be lovely, if it is still available, as i believe i would be able to manage my disease easier with a pump. I work shifts, dont eat regularly and have no regular sleeping pattern and MDI's would be a nightmare to control.Just one thing...I live in Rochester, Kent.Regards,Halfgospel</blockquote>
