Sounds a bit like UCLH for the kids, one of the top hospitals for kiddies and diabetes. Over 100 on pumps, and loads and loads referred from all over.
They can't say no, they want to help everyone.

I only know about the paediatric diabetes teams. I know nothing about the adult side of things, can't tell you whether there is one, or whether it is any good. The paediatric also includes teens.

haha! My mum is looking forward to getting rid of me, but after a couple of weeks she'll be lonely so i'm sure she'd adopt you
Hi ,I,m sorry your feeling so low about your diabetes, but everyone here online are so saportive. You,ll soon have lots of sapport. My daughter has been diabetic for 22yrs,she,s only 25 now and has just started on the pump(last week) after much fighting Of highs and lows for no reason.(see post ANTIBODIES) All i can say is that i would strongly advise you to learn how to carb count as this is the only!!!! way to keep track of your carb/insulin intake.This will give you chance!!! to take control of your diabeties.There is a very good course that you can sign up to, not sure wat they will call it in your area, but here its called FREEDOM 4 LIFE. You have to do it here befor they will even consider you for a pump. So go ahead and get it under your belt in prep for your reqest.Its very worth while any one doing it. It realy was amazing how much things change , when you understand how your diabeties works. please dont lose heart.
