[QUOTE="jgordon5, post: 1331202, member: 84695"] I'm T1 on a pump with a CGM (self funded) and if I went on NHS advice, I wouldn't be able to function at all. Maybe your guitar buddy would read a book called Sugar Surfing, it's about £6 if you get the pdf or kindle version and the best thing about it is that it frees you from thinking that your doctor or diabetes nurse knows best. Only you can really know how food, lifestyle, insulin etc affect you. I was doing my own thing anyway before I started reading it but the book made me feel completely not guilty about going against medical advice - incidentally it's written by a doctor who is a T1 diabetic. There are also lots of tips about pumping which I found very, very useful. Here's the link to Sugar Surfing [URL]https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sugar-Surfing-manage-diabetes-modern-ebook/dp/B017EIX9HG[/URL]. You can get really good control with a pump so I do hope your buddy will break free from having to follow the NHS rules. His consultant sounds very strange. My consultant encourages anything almost that helps you live a better life with diabetes and helps keep your BGs in a good range. He could ask to go to another pump clinic under a different consultant. It's worth checking with diabetes forums on FB to see which is a good clinic/consultant. Also Input Diabetes, which you can find by googling , are very helpful in looking for supportive diabetes teams. [/QUOTE]
