Hi All,
I ve been having alot of issues with injection sites, lumping etc these were mentioned to me by a member of the diabetic team but they dont know if theres funding for them or not. I have emailed the company but had no re ply to date so i thought i would ask here if anyone is using them through the NHS thanks

I am not sure what you are hoping to have funding for?
 
It likely wouldn’t be down to Medtronic as to whether you can have them. It’d be up to the NHS and whether they are willing to spend money to fund those for you. It looks like you change it out every 3 days like with an insulin pump so unless you’re rotating your sites regularly you’re still going to have the same issue of getting lumps etc.
