A member asked:
Is there a way to get an insulin pump without a endocrinologist recommendation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Any physician can order one but that's not recommended. It requires careful monitoring and adjustment at times. An endocrinologist is most experienced in this and so it's best to go to one in order to get the pump in the first place.
