[QUOTE="Emma_P23, post: 657694, member: 88101"] Then if that's the case and it isn't used, that's the hospitals fault for not withdrawing the funding for it. I have the risk of my pump being taken away if I don't attend hospital appointments and show that I have put a lot of effort into it. The negatives come from people assuming that the person who needs to test more automatically being lazy. No body knows how many times they test already. We aren't in possession of all the facts. I'm not trying to pick fights, but people are just automatically assuming that the person cannot be bothered. I test 5 or so times a day. Maybe they are already doing this? Also, people's experiences differ greatly. I have fantastic back up from my hospital team with pump specific clinics every 6 months, pump meetings with reps and other pump users every year and also appointments whenever I need with my pump trained specialist. I'm not perfect. There are days where I don't test enough or eat the right things. Does that mean mine should be taken away from me because that's what a lot of people are implying. We're not all perfect so why should we assume that a pump wouldn't benefit the people who maybe struggle with the day to day life of being a diabetic? [/QUOTE]
