I am up in Glasgow I have been told 4 to 5 weeks and should get the pump as they have just got more pumps to give to people this year.
I take it they do not push what pump they have you can make your own mind up
I am in Tayside and I know the Scottish Government have had a big push on getting people on to pumps.
I didn't get a choice of what pump I'm getting, with the exception of colour, but I'm not sure if this is a NHS Scotland thing or if thats just what they do in my local area.
I started the process in January this year and was approved in March. I didn't hear anything else until the start of August.
I now have my meeting with the other new pumpers on 24th October, go on my saline start from 13th November and insulin going in from 17th November.
I would say it has been quite a long process here compared to what some other users on the forum have experienced so I guess it may be different in Glasgow.
All areas of Scotland have targets to meet by March 2015 so I think it may also depend on how many they need to start in order to meet their targets.
When I spoke to my DSN in June I was only one of two people on the waiting list so I'm not sure if this also has a bearing on how quickly things happen.
Hope everything goes well for you.
