    tandem x2 slim

    My consultant told me this pump is coming to the UK, he had the reps at the hospital a few months ago and they left pumps for him to try. My Animas is now out of warranty but I'm hanging on instead of replacing it so I can get the Tandem.

    DVLA Petition- Action for Diabetic Drivers

    I lost my licence a couple of years ago because my GP put a tick in the wrong box on the medical form. Even though my GP admitted his error and wrote to the DVLA the same day it took me 6 months to get my licence back.I got my MP involved who wrote to them 3 times, I got a letter back off some...

    What do you want from a meter

    The NHS paid £5700 for the 2 pumps I've got plus almost £15000 in other set up costs so why not £300 for a more accurate meter. May be only for the people that require a more accurate meter. Pump without an accurate meter doesn't make much sense to me. As I've said several times now I never said...

    What do you want from a meter

    Change of meter was because the meter was inaccurate. My Endo said I'd get no more than 2 years out of a meter after that they become inaccurate. They change theirs on the wards every 6 months for the same reason. I know you didn't blame me directly for poor BG just looked that way to me. I took...

    What do you want from a meter

    What do you want from a meter

    In your later post you claim to be able to get very tight control, how is that possible if you aren't bothered that you BG is out by a point or so, that's not what I think of as tight control. I wish I had your awareness of what my BGs are doing, not all of us do. I'm a type 1 on a pump and have...

    Current Onetouch Ultra Easy hand book states meter is considered accurate when results are + or - 20% of lab results. That is the international standard that companies have to conform to. Cugila, I'm not saying I want meters to be 100% accurate but I want tight control which is not possible...

    What do you want from a meter

    More accurate results, + or - 20% is not acceptable in the 21st century. How are we going to get BG correct if results can be 20% out.

    Pump Insurance

    My PCT won't provide the letter as they are claiming ownership of the pump, because they paid for it! Without the letter my insurance company won't insure and the NHS will not replace it durring the life of the pump. I've heard of other PCTs that are the same, just got to hope I don't damage it.

    Halifax Bank don't ask, made a point of telling me they don't take it into account.
