[QUOTE="ruby_jane26, post: 2078835, member: 445499"] Hello All I have been approved for a pump and I have to choose between omnipod and Medtronic 640g (however I’m going to ask about the 670g). My nurse told me that she only just realised that a letter had been sitting with my file in the office that said I’d been approved since April but only just realised. However the letter said they’d approve me for 1 year. I thought pump funding is for 4 years. Do you know why they would only give me 1 years funding instead of 4 like usual? Also, pros and cons on omnipod and Medtronic pumps? I like the omnipod but worry I won’t be able to wear them on my thighs because of my work trousers, or arms because of my work shirts so I’ll run out of sites quickly[emoji848][emoji848]. Medtronic would be easier in terms of places to wear it. What are your opinions? Thanks xx [/QUOTE]
