[QUOTE="Scott-C, post: 1729594, member: 374531"] It is the Wild West at the moment. It's such a new thing at the moment that different areas are taking different approaches to it. Devolved parts of the country, like Wales and Scotland (Ireland too, maybe, but am not sure?) are being fairly liberal with it. I'm in NHS Lothian and it's basically if you're T1 and want it, you'll get it. Borders and Forth Valley seem to be the same. Stitching together what was said in formulary committee papers and by a consultant at an induction meeting, the thinking seems to be that although there's limited formal clinical data, docs have loved having self-funders turning up with printouts of agp graphs and dailies, because it's way more usable info than an a1c alone, and one consultant who played a part in the prescription decision process in my area told me they know that T1 is difficult and if they were T1 they'd be using it to make life easier, so they couldn't in good faith deny it to people, so they were going to do it despite lack of formal data. So, you self-funders out there, it's not going to do any harm to make sure you print off your agp graphs etc. and take them along to reviews, and tell them how much more motivated and engaged you feel. That sort of feedback makes a difference. [/QUOTE]
