[QUOTE="cjw, post: 291709, member: 24323"] FAO diva Saw your concerns about a pump which was mostly replied to however I have a medtronic pump and a sensor attached. The sensor is also attached outside the body and does constant checks but of instital fluid rather than blood sugar so not as accurate. Blood tests needed to calibrate it. Sensor alarms at various points you set yourself eg if mine detects 4.5 it beeps or above 12. Will also beep if it spots a trend in blood sugar falling or rising. You set these ranges with assistance from DSN. Not 100% accurate but will ensure you do a blood test the minute it detects a problem. Sounds like you will qualify but as other person said different Trusts do vary. I really think a sensor (not necessarily the one I have) will help you. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
