Hello!
For a while now I have been asking for an insulin pump.
I have explained that I'm struggling with all these injections everyday and that with Millie being a very active toddler I really need to get my sugars under control so I have the energy to look after her.
However, my nurse has told me no. That the criteria is too strict and I don't qualify. She told me pumps are for children or for those who have bad hypo awareness.
My sugars aren't so bad that I cannot care for my daughter but I defiantly have to take a backseat when it comes to playtime.
What can I do?
Any advice??
