[QUOTE="theprettysideofugly, post: 1382673, member: 378109"] I'm recently diagnosed type 1 diabetic, a month ago but spent 2 and a half weeks in hospital on a feed so I have only had one week of treating it by myself, and I feel as though insulin injections just aren't going to work out for me, they are affecting my day to day living, I'm yet to go back to college until I can get myself into a healthy routine, I rarely leave the house because I'm scared of having a hypo, my blood sugars are always high, like in the 20's no matter what time of day it is, I'm on novo rapid 3 times a day (10 units) and lantus once at night (12 units) and I'm worried the NHS will refuse to pay for an insulin pump and all the accessories because I'm so newly diagnosed but as I'm only 17, I feel as though a pump would give me the best chance of having some form of normality, if anyone could give me advice or tell me about their own experiences with pumps/injections and doctors that would be great Hope to hear from someone soon [/QUOTE]
