[QUOTE="Spiker, post: 648175, member: 102150"] However, it is not at all surprising, given the conversation you reported having with the doctor. Even for those of us lucky enough to meet the NHS criteria for a pump, we have to jump through the hoops to get them. As you are trying to get a pump as a special case, it's even more important to jump through the hoops. Jumping through the hoops means showing the doc you are able to take charge of managing your diabetes responsibly. It means working with the team. It means demonstrating you have tried all the alternatives, tried them properly. If we don't jump through these hoops, we don't get pumps. It's that simple. Because a pump costs a lot of money and takes a lot of work and effort from us, the pump users. It's not an autopilot, you have to put effort in. If the doctor is not convinced you will put the effort in, he or she will not sign off on the high cost of a pump. If you want the pump, that's how you, we, everyone, gets one. The only way. Not by refusing to work with them and walking out, I'm afraid. That's the reality. [/QUOTE]
