    Libre on NHS

    Hospital Diabetes clinics

    I have to say my team are fantastic. After years of attending the local diabetic GP based clinic I pushed to see the dedicated team in my area and since then I have had support and the reviews required. In my honest opinion you need to push and push hard to ensure the care you receive is...

I just thought after reading various things on here and elsewhere the...

    Pump trial

    Evening all. My Consultant has just referred me back to the Pump DSN for a trial with saline. However it appears odd as I have not yet been through any form of funding questions or process. Is this the norm? Has anyone had this kind of experience? Thanks M
