The best things you can do is educate yourself so you can get the best out the system. The system is good but does vary with what we call the postcode lottery. This means where you live and the hospital you go to affect what you can be prescribed particularly with pumps. I'd recommend having a look at the input website which gives information as to which hospitals give pumps and to whom. Cgms are a lot more difficult but libres are cheaper and better here than in the US. They have a 14 day life span and 1 hr start up instead of 12 and cost £44 with the vat discount. Plus you can run them off some phones.
