I have actually changed hospitals to be able to ask for a pump it has took me a while but there starting to listen to me, currently i am on 185 units of insulin a day and i am still all over the place, i cant take.metformin as its makes me sick and gives me headaches, i have tried everything i have been asked to do. I have swaped and changed insulins i have done sugars all through day and night i have done the carb counting course and nothing seems to help my own gp and SN Thinks i need a pump but trying to convince a consultant is difficult its almost like because the pump costs so much money they wont give them out but i honestly feel this would help me dramatically and it shouldnt be about money it should be about peoples lives! I knew a lady in a similar boat to me that passed away at 44  due to " diabetic complications "  so yes i think for certain people the pump is a fantastic idea and i realy hope if i carry on fighting i shall get mine! :lol:Sent from my GT-I9300 using DCUK Forum mobile app</blockquote>
