[QUOTE="LaughingHyena, post: 374342, member: 29694"] From what I've been reading it seems to vary quite a bit as to how long it takes to get a pump. It seems my hospital prefer to run the pump training for a group of people so I guess some people will have to wait a while till the next course. I had an appointment in March when the consultant recomended a pump and the next course is looking like it will be the end of May so hopefully not too long for me. Choice wise I;ve been given the name of the two pumps which the hospital use most, the accu check combo and the animas vibe. I was told that I could look at others but their only experiences with others are if people move into the area already using them. Both the preffered options look good though so I'd prefer to go with one the team are familiar with. Several people I have spoken to have found that thier hospital has a bulk buy arrangement with one pump supplier so they can get the pumps at a discount, in that case getting a different pump can be difficult. I have read of some people who have chosen to move their care to a different hospital to get the pump they wanted. [/QUOTE]
