Insurance4insulinpumps – Our story
In 2011, my daughter Kate, with Type 1 diabetes, was moved to insulin pump therapy and was provided with an Insulin pump by the NHS. We were advised by the NHS Diabetic Specialist Nurse and the manufacturers’ representative to have the pump insured for accidental damage and theft (pump manufacturers provide warranty protection for pump failure/malfunction only). We were told that if the pump was damaged or stolen then the NHS would not fund a replacement, and this would be at my expense. So, where to go to get it insured? The recommendation was to simply include the pump as a named item on my home contents insurance. Not so simple...
