Hello, I have been a type 1 diabetic for 20 years and I also have rheumatoid arthritis since 2002 and have now just been referred for an insulin pump as I have been having difficulty doing my 4 daily injections. Has anyone else got both illnesses?

Hi Steffpow, welcome to the forum 🙂 Great news about the pump, I hope you find it as helpful as many of our members do 🙂 What pump are you getting? I believe some of our members do have both conditions, so hopefully will be able to share their experiences with you. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have! 🙂

And when you have had a look - there are a lot of pumpers on here and I think between us we have nearly every pump available! - so ANYTHING you want to know - just yell and someone will know the answer!
