[QUOTE="Julian_Hands, post: 1418209, member: 324327"] Just a quick note to you all that you do need to persevere with your hospital sometimes. I was advised in August 2016 that the hospital agreed that Pump therapy was the best treatment for my circumstance and could see that I was doing all I can with 10-12 blood tests day to try to manage my injections but agreed that I should change ASAP to get my SD allot better. I was invited and attended a carb counting course in October 2016 where I was asked if I would like an Accuchek Aviva Expert Meter to give Bolus advise, which would help with my transition to a pump. I accepted the meter and purchased the Insight software to monitor what was going on. I then received a letter from the hospital to advise that my next appointment would be the 20th March 2017, this annoyed me as I have been really struggling with the injections after 42 years and with new life routines that didn't allow for such great control. I phoned the hospital in October to get advised that this was the earliest they would see me? I attended the hospital today and started my rant that I wanted to change to a pump and wasn't prepared to wait another 6 months with NHS cutbacks, when the doctor apologised and could see that I slipped through the net. I should of been on a pump in November and todays appointment was to see how things were going on with a pump? I hope now to be seen in the next 2 weeks to make the change. I hope you all have a smoother experience making the change and hope that the pump will give me the flexibility I've been long awaiting for. Good luck to you all. Julian [/QUOTE]
