Hi all
New here so long story (sorry)
I have had type 2 since 2013, but last year I was diagnosed with EPI (Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency) I am under investigation to see if this was caused by autoimmune pancreases or not, but, was told on last admission to hospital that my pancreas was not working well. This is why they changed me to insulin. so at present I am on insulin for the rest of my life. I also have RA caused by Psoriasis. So take methotrexate.
I think there is a side affect using these that I can bruise a lot which if is I am black and blue at injection sites.
As this is causing me issues would I be a candidate for insulin pump or if I was would I have to buy it my self.( I don't mind if I have too)
Also, is there some good information about the insulin pumps like how they work, how long they last etc.
Thanks for the help in advanced.
Paul
