As klpants said they are available in the UK, but as they are not covered by the NHS, they can be difficult to get hold of.
I cuold have been on a trial for one when I was back in school but as I was already on 4 injections a day they turned me down.
I have asked about getting a pump to my last Dr and to the one I have now, and both have said that I could benefit from one, but the only problem is the cost - to ''buy'' a pump it can set up back upto £2500, and that is only for the pump, you then have the additional costs of all the supplies, e.g the insulin, the canulas etc and that can be up to £100 per month... so the cost can be quite steep.
I would ask you Dr/Nurse about it, I know one member on the board here if from the Uk and is on a pump and got funding for it(for good reason tho) the questions just need to be asked.
If/When you do ask, let us now how you get on - any info would be great!!
