I came across 2 organizations that provide unused supplies to individuals based on the donations they receive from others. The contact information is shown below.
In addition, you might consider checking with the manufacturer of your pump (if you already have one) to see what they suggest. If you are active with your local JuvenileJuvenile angiofibroma Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF) chapter or branch, you might come across individuals who have available supplies because they are changing pumps or switching back to shots.
If you're not a pumper, it would be best to work out your supplies issue before starting on the path to pumping.
Supplies can be sent to:
