[QUOTE="caryh, post: 796211, member: 19062"] I live in Stockport, but go to the Manchester Diabetes Centre at the Manchester Royal infirmary. I get all the support I need, but without any hassle. I see my pump nurse as much or as little as I want ( saw her last month, but was 18 months since my last visit). As she was happy with how everything was going she just said visit again when I'm ready and kindly reminded me that my pump is to be replaced this time next year, so make an appointment a few months before to see newest pumps and make a decision. They have a range of pumps (Accu-chek, Animas and Omnipod for definite, and pretty sure they will let you have Medtronic and probably Cellnovo as well, but as don't know anybody on them so can't swear to it. Due to its popularity it can be a bit of a wait for an appointment, but I wouldn't change. ( My nearest hospital is in Stockport, but I was previously under the MRI team and wanted to stay with them when I moved house. My local hospital doesn't have a dedicated diabetes centre, and having investigated moving my treatment to Stockport ( foot issues meant I ended up involved with stockport diabetes team) I'm glad I decided against the change. Thats not to say stockports team is bad in any way, just that manchester has a larger team,so more specialist services in the one place. [/QUOTE]
