Any help available anywhere to replace a pump that stopped working
My 14 year old sons pump just stopped working- I have a 90 day replacement from medtronic- but am unemployed and no insurance to be able to replace. We are 2 diabetics in the family so all supplies are out of pocket. I'm afraid that I'm just plain "out of pockets" period. Can anyone point me in a direstion?? I know we don't have to have him on a pump but he is so much better with it I hate to have to take him off it My wife works so we are not eligible for any state or federal assistance, mostly because I don't know how to work the system. I wouldn't if I could- there are people far worse off than I-so I'm just trying to find a way!! Thanks!

Thanks. The motor stopped working and gave an error message. According to medtronic these pumps are examined and then disposed of-there is no dyi fix. Thank you though.
