[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 1426148, member: 11028"] Prior to start date I just had an hours session with the DSN looking at the pump and discussing with them any question and concerns that I had, on the actual start date I went to the clinic at around 9.30am and was home again at lunch pumping insulin, on the day there was the pump rep and the pump DSN in attendance, so not a lot of training but if you read-up on pumps beforehand (the book Pumping Insulin is a great read) you will have all basics to get you started with. Since starting on the pump I've had 2 quick training sessions with the rep, just going through things like getting the most from the various bolus delivery options on the pump and using the TBR facility (temporary basal rate) for times of illness and exercising. If you want to know a bit more about pumps and how it is funded on the NHS have a read of the following [USER=391777]@lyndsayob[/USER] : [URL]http://www.inputdiabetes.org.uk/alt-insulin-pumps/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
