[QUOTE="leggott, post: 300102, member: 20065"] yes, I know. What I mean is, they don't take into account that over a 2/3 year period, the omnipod is more expensive. We were told that the pods were less than the amount you quoted and I think that possibly with our PCT they have ordered many PDMs so would qualify for a discount. They look no further than a year and consider it still cheaper than paying several thousand pounds in one go. When budgeting they are only looking at the current years budget - not the best financial approach I agree. I'm not sure why my PCT are allocating more omnipods, I'm assuming they must have negotiated a reasonable price, as like you say, they could supply more traditional style pumps. Our biggest hurdle was getting a pump rather than the specific pump itself. I'm very aware how lucky I am to have my kids on these pumps and am fortunate to have a fantastic DSN and GP. [/QUOTE]
