I'm a type 2 that recently got a pump. My A1C's were in the 7-8 point range. My dr. fought with the insurance company for 9 months to get a pump for me, but they were denying it because I was a type 2, and they said type 2's don't need pumps. My A1C's weren't very good, but I don't think it was about the A1C's with my insurance company. They finally approved me though. If your dr. thinks you are a good candidate, and you are a type 1, I wouldn't think it would be hard to get one.
