[QUOTE="Spiker, post: 815547, member: 102150"] This is a Catch-22 situation. The NHS is breaking its own rules. The NICE rules are that you only get a pump after you have had structured education (DAFNE etc) and still failed to hit target with MDI. The reality is that the NHS can barely deliver enough structured education to keep up with the demand for pumps, so DAFNE courses are filled with pump candidates. I was the only one on my course who didn't want a course. But my HCPs put me on DAFNE, not for its own sake, but because their plan was that I would go on a pump to solve my problems hitting target on MDI. I didn't want a pump, I wanted a CGM, and I got one shortly before my DAFNE course started. After doing DAFNE I definitely didn't feel I needed a pump. I felt much more confident about MDI. Which is exactly the point of DAFNE, of course. [/QUOTE]
