Hi Jeffery, There is a subsidised program that the government runs, but you have to pay for half the pump. Not much good to you, I guess. You may also be able to get a second-hand, donated pump. Get in touch with Animas, Medtonic as well as your...

Hi Jeffrey, believe me you are not alone when it comes to going for long periods(years) of not looking after our diabetes as best we can. I too am guilty and doubt you'll find many people that can honestly say that they haven't "been there, done t...
