Getting a pump is a journey. You do not have to walk it alone.
Pumping Along helps people living with diabetes, and the families beside them, understand their options, work through access and funding, and feel ready to start insulin pump therapy. Clear guidance, warm support, and no jargon.
A pump is a big step, and the path to one can feel like a maze
Approvals, prescriptions, device choices, funding, training dates. It is a lot to hold, whether you are managing diabetes yourself or caring for someone you love. Pumping Along exists to make that path clearer, one step at a time, so the decisions feel manageable instead of overwhelming.
Three ways we support you
Understand your options
What insulin pump therapy is, how the main device types differ, and honest talk about the benefits and the trade-offs, so you can weigh what fits.
Navigate access and funding
A calm walkthrough of prescriptions, coverage, and the paperwork. How this works varies by country and insurer, so we help you know what to ask for at each stage.
Start with confidence
Practical preparation for those first weeks: what to have ready, questions for your care team, and reassurance that a wobbly start is completely normal.
What the journey looks like
Everyone is different, but the road to a pump usually moves through the same stages. We meet you wherever you are on it.
Learn the basics
Get comfortable with what a pump does and whether it could suit your situation.
Talk to your care team
Bring good questions to your doctor or diabetes educator and make the decision together.
Work through access
Prescriptions, funding, and paperwork, handled in order so nothing gets missed.
Get set up and supported
Prepare for training and those first weeks, with support if the start feels bumpy.
Learn with someone who gets it
Our workshops break the process into friendly, digestible sessions, shaped around what you need. Ask questions, talk it through, and leave with a clear next step. Workshops are paid, and we arrange the details with you directly.
What you can expect
- Clear explanations, at a human pace
- Room to ask the questions on your mind
- Practical checklists you can take away
- A warm, judgement-free space
Started by someone who has walked this road
Pumping Along grew out of one family's experience of moving a loved one onto insulin pump therapy, and seeing how much lighter daily life became. That is the difference we want to help more people reach.
