[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 1434210, member: 53162"] Hi [USER=74883]@SugarBuzz[/USER] In an ideal world every type 1 would have one yes, however it's a cost issue and attached to that is the point that if you are currently cruising along with poor control and very little regard for your type 1 management then it won't ultimately be a useful tool for you and won't improve your HbA1c. People who are interested in gaining access to one are doing so because they know it can improve their control and HbA1c, but for one reason or another cannot do it on MDI alone and better control is illusive, the NHS are interested in helping those and they know the pump is therefore an investment for these people. Giving someone a pump who doesn't manage well already isn't a magic wand, it doesn't offer brilliant control as it relies on the user to manage it efficiently and invest time in managing it, otherwise it's a wasted pump.
