did the a specialist/consultant approve the pump applications officially...........once that has been done the process should be moving.....
for me, a 4 year battle to get down below 8% had failed despite trying all sorts of weird and wonderful strategies which I had proved to my consultants.......fortunately there was funding put in place by the Scottish government specifically for pumps as Scotland was dragging behind in pump supply with the rest of the UK...........6 months it took from my consultants say YES to getting my appointment at the pump clinic.....[my clinic didn't do them yet].....
I would keep mentioning it to the nurses.........if the approval has been given, then the nurses should be able to see it through without the consultant as its usually the nurses who will train you up anyway....
