[QUOTE="RollingJovi, post: 1602776, member: 305086"] I’ve posted on here before that I suffer from mental health issues and I’m battling paranoid schizophrenia as well as type 1 diabetes. I’ve been under management of district nurses for my insulin dosages but have been taking back control slowly from the district nurses to maintain my own insulin doses more regularly and without input from district nurses. I understand unless I am completely self managed with my insulin I will find it hard to get funding for an insulin pump. But that day when I regain complete control is not far off and I will maintain myself better. My hba1c is 9.9% presently and I find the dawn phenomenon is adding to my control issues in the morning. I was just wondering how I would gain funding from the NHS in England to get a Medtronic MiniMed640G with CGM sensors too. Has anyone been able to get this on the NHS and how easy is it at all to get and have the CCG fund? I’m currently using a accu-chek aviva expert blood glucose machine. Any help and information on how to go about securing a possible yes to the pump/CGM would be most appreciated!! Many thanks [/QUOTE]
