Have been diabetic for 12 years type 1 recently fitted pump. Excelent back up from Leicester specialist nurses but at 75 years old takes nearly as much learning as computer short hand, fortunately DAFNE first.:confused: you had better believe it.
 
Hi geoffreyray, welcome to the forum 🙂 Great to hear that you have a pump and good support from your team! If you have any pump-related questions, please ask in our pumping section - lots of very experienced people there to help you out with any queries.

I think you are our most senior pumper! Did you find it difficult getting approval?

Thanks for speedy reply,northerner. it took 2 years of nagging my specialist and lousy B>G> results for 10 years in spite of DAFNE and DESMOND courses. Yes I suppose I must be in with a chance of being one of the oldest, perhaps we should start a competition. On a weightier note some of the correspondent's pleas for help had me in tears I had no idea NHS services were so patchy, I wish I had more informed help to give. I would say that a pump appears to be the answer for me.

It is terrible the variations in quality of care available up and down the country. I think having a forum like ours can help enormously in helping people understand what help they should be receiving, and giving them the support and information they need to fight for it 🙂

It is very encouraging to hear that your team were able to provide you with a solution 🙂
