Started going through the local pump assessment process about a month ago and had to fill out a detailed food diary, and prove that I could carb count from various different labels and food plates given to me.
At the time I was told it would go to a board in March and they will let me know either way.
I was at my clinic appointment this morning and the consultant mentioned it to me and said he basically is the board which decides on them and he seemed really supportive of the idea which I was surprised about. Apparently the meeting is being held next week so hopefully I will find out about it after that.
I am really surprised about the speed of things as I know quite alot of people on here have bother getting approved. Going on a pump was mentioned to me as a possibility in October yet I never formally asked for it to be looked at until Mid-January and they got the wheels in montion then.
Obviously my case might still get knocked back but everyone seems to be really positive about it.
