Hi Caroleann,
type 2's are not allowed pumps on the NHS except in very rare cases.

Have you checked your basal to see what's happening there?
 
I only know of 1 T2 who has a pump (not personally)
But I believe Sir Steve Redgrave has one.

I didn't think T2's could have a pump.

I agree with sue about checking your basal
 
yep checked basal,as for the pump i pretty much know i have a better chance of sun bathing on mars but im still going to ask,probably be kicked out of the clinic for my cheek but if we dont ask we will never learn anything will we🙂
 
Not being funny but have you got this virus thingy or put on weight which might have upped your need for insulin?
