[QUOTE="Matt J, post: 895739, member: 188789"] Hi Faye No, not using a pump. Just penning it with NovoRapid and Levemir. I haven't attended a hospital clinic for years and just see my DN (and Doctor who although a GP has an interest in diabetes) at the surgery. As I mentioned I have a lot of respect for both my DN and Doctor. The foot clinic is also held at the surgery and obviously the retinopathy screening is at a local optician. I'm hoping over time I'll be able to get them to increase it, it's just the extra hassle and uncertainty at the current time I could have done without. Personally I would have been more than happy not to have set foot inside a doctors surgery in my life. Unfortunately, despite looking after myself before and since - T1 got in the way. I fully understand the budget is not a bottomless pit and savings apparently need to be made. It just doesn't seem fair how this is done. [/QUOTE]
