[QUOTE="Matt J, post: 895758, member: 188789"] Yes I have thought about seeing someone at the hospital clinic. I guess I would need a referral from the GP? My past experience of hospital clinics is that they are a bit more up to speed with the latest developments in T1 management and technology. I remember when I went on the first Novopen about 28 years ago and there was the crazy situation of the insulin pen cartridges available on prescription but the pen needles were not - they needed to be bought. When I attended my hospital clinic in Sheffield the nurse used to give me a big bag of pen needles to keep me going! :) The BDA (now Diabetes UK) at the time started a campaign to get pen needles put on prescription and it finally happened after a few years.
