[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 658171, member: 17713"] Sorry, I consider that theses are horror stories on this posting. Just very real life experiences of how education and support can so vastly help people, but it is the Patient that has to be responsible at the end of the day. A pump is definitely more responsibility and the NHS can't be 100% that non compliant MDI'ers are going to be compliant with a pump. When a Patient has done everything as a MDI user and still can't get good results then why should they be jumped in the queue. I know of people on pumps that still don't regularly look at their patterns and regularly log their readings and make changes. So they still aren't really looking after their health as they really should be. I'm an example of a person being too anal and being told off!! So the opposite because I care too much. I guess, from my talking to Patients and consultants that I have gained very strong opinions still that our NHS is struggling and cannot afford to have even 1 person given a pump that ends up in a shed.
