[QUOTE="Omnipod, post: 1597086, member: 89494"] How much more evidence do they require as to how effective this treatment is? There are literally thousands of reports stating how this has changed peoples lives. Almost every person using this device has seen a drop in hba1c. Surely that alone equates to a huge reduction in cost that would save the NHS millions every year? One would think the ccg’s and clinical chairs like this Alistair Blair would be forward thinking enough to approve the device. We pay thousands of pounds every year to the NHS and without us, the likes of clinical chairs would have no job. It’s about time they start taking diabetes care more serious and start thinking how we feel and how hard it is to maintain a decent blood sugar level by having to finger prick. I would suggest every type 1 diabetic start writing to their local MP so that we can get the drug tariff approved on prescription by our local gp’s [/QUOTE]
