[QUOTE="Rokaab, post: 2422392, member: 450212"] It was a complete nightmare for me to get a pump, the pump consultant in my hospital was a bit of a 'red tape man' so despite the fact he could see I'd really benefit, it wasnt til he retired that I got one, and I only got one because the night time adventures of my glucose levels cannot be controlled with a basal insulin (ie was slowly dropping til about 3am then went up like a rocketship so needs different basal amounts from 3am til about 8am which cant be done with a normal basal through MDI - well not unless I got up at 3-4am every morning which was not part of the plan). I think only 20% of T1's are supposedly getting the libre, a lot less get pumps as far as I can tell, you have to have a very specific provable reason why it cant be dealt with using MDI in many places (some places seem to be a lot more liberal - my CCG is not) [/QUOTE]
