My boyfriend is a complete miracle. He is 42 and is a brittle diabetic. He manages his diabetes with two different insulins, but he can go as low as 40 then as high as 500 all in the span of 24-48 hours. I am not a doctor but I am sure that this can not be healthy. He has had a life full of drinking, unhealthy eating, unmedicated mental illness, and drug abuse. This past year he has cleaned up his act and is really working hard on getting his diabetes under control. I know a pump is his answer. He is regulating his mental illness with medication under the care of a doctor and is doing 95% better as far as eating goes. Because of his bi-polar condition he is on SSI and Medical. I need to know if anyone has heard of Medical covering the Pump or if there are any other options. . .charities, or foundations that supply pumps to those who are in desperate need. I have a few friends who work for a major supplier of "pumps", but they don't know either. Please HELP!
